Okay, I'm game. I think the flames are kinda funny, but don't
really have time to play with this any more. I've gotten a
number of requests, and I'm leaving work Wednesday, and have
zero time left to repsond to individual requests. I'll still be
reachable via my address here, but I'll be living at my Purdue
address in case you want to get mail to me faster.
Thanks for the interest in astro s/w; I will post the programs
in net.sources, so zip over there for your copy...
Note that you will want to modify sunrise/sunset: hardcode your
latitude and longitude in and you won't have to type them in the
command line all the time. ugh.
Also, the phase-of-the-moon program is a target in the makefile
in the today directory. The today program print out something
like this (of which potm is a part, obviously):
Today is Friday, the ninth day of August, nineteen eighty-five. The time
is thirteen minutes and eighteen seconds after three PM, Daylight
Savings Time. The Moon is Waning Crescent (39% of Full).
It should not need any modification ... none that I know of.
Anyway, un-shar and enjoy!!
