    Rino,
    
    Yes, I have looked at this but got to wondering what happens on January 1,
    2006? Buy another package?

    | I created the data from the tables and formulas in AstroNav PC, which you
    | can find here: http://www.willbell.com/navigation/index.htm
    |
    | Looked into the JPL thing too, but I'm afrrais that was way over my
    head...

    | Loath as SOME users of this list are to introducing computers into
    celestial
    | navigation, I would like to find someone that has used the "JPL Planetary
    | and Lunar Ephemerides" data to actually produce a computer almanac. I
    would
    | like to do so but am not sure how to proceed. I am NOT interested in
    getting
    | the data via the many excellent Web based systems as accessing the web is
    | NOT practical while at sea.
    |
    | Any enlightenment will be appreciated.
    |
    | TIA
    |
    | Vic
