The curvature of space-time as described by
Einstein in the General Theory of Relativity
also effects length near a Black Hole.
The curvature of space-time due to the mass of
the Black Hole stretches lengths in the
radial direction towards the center of
the Black Hole. Basically this means the
distance between two points measured by
circumference around the Black Hole is smaller
than the distance measured directly. The
closer to the Black Hole you get the distance
is stretched and stretched and the actual Black
Hole signifies infinite space curvature. Once
again, as in time near a Black Hole, inside
the event horizon distance is not the same
as outside the horizon, and a much more complicated situation.

Clusters Dos Version
These are two identical programs for calculating length near a Black Hole. The one uses a graphics library only supported at Syracuse University computer clusters, and the other is a boring dos version which can be run anywhere.
