Regarding this question of a one-day error in predictions in the Online Nautical Almanac for dates prior to 28 Feb 1800 (discovered by Mike Burkes), I've had a helpful and friendly response from Omar Reis (at omar@tecepe.com.br, in Brazil). Omar has been a list-member but currently doesn't subscribe, though he probes into its archives from time to time. He is investigating the problem further, and hopes to correct it or at the very least to post a warning if users stray into error-prone dates. He will let me know when this has been done, and I will pass it on. George. ================================================================ contact George Huxtable by email at george@huxtable.u-net.com, by phone at 01865 820222 (from outside UK, +44 1865 820222), or by mail at 1 Sandy Lane, Southmoor, Abingdon, Oxon OX13 5HX, UK. ================================================================
