At my web site I've added some Visual C# code which demonstrates how a .NET Framework application can call routines in the SOFA/JPL DLL. The other Visual Studio languages can do this too, though the syntax would be different. http://home.earthlink.net/~s543t-24dst/sofajpl/call_from_csharp.html The SOFA/JPL DLL is a positional astronomy "engine" for Windows. It contains the Fortran routines at the heart of the Astronomical Almanac and the USNO MICA program. Click the link on the web page for a detailed description. I plan to write a more friendly user interface for this DLL. The present interface is inconvenient unless you're calling the routines from unmanaged (i.e., not .NET Framework) C or C++. -- I block messages that contain attachments or HTML. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
