Version 4.2.0.0 of my lunar distance program for Windows is out. http://home.earthlink.net/~s543t-24dst/lunar3/ This version makes all dialog boxes sizeable. That is, you can drag the borders to change the size of the boxes. One would-be user of an earlier version found some controls unusable because the dialog boxes were too small. However, if you have version 4.1.1.0 and the dialog boxes look OK, you don't need to upgrade. Compared to most modern software, the program is very small. The download .zip file is only about 250 k. Installation is simple. Put the .zip file where you want the new folder created. Select "extract all files". Folder Lunar4_2_0_0 is created and contains the complete software package except one item. You need a JPL planetary ephemeris to run the program, but I don't include one. Which one to use is a personal choice, and anyway you should learn to make one from the ASCII files on line at JPL. My program has the necessary tools.
