    Perhaps the program I am writing can be of use to you. It is a java 
    application that calculates sun's azimuth, altitude and declination and 
    the equation of time for any given location and time (see attached 
    screendump). The app is freeware and will work until the end of 2009. It 
    can use pc date and time and can store the data in an excel file.
    You will find it at: http://www.starmountain.nl/SunAzi.zip
    Extract it somewhere and start it by: java -jar "[path to the jar 
    file]\SunAzi.jar"
    Please let me know any of the results.
    
    enjoy!
    Nicolàs
