After lurking for months and hundreds of very helpful
messages, have made a first attempt at using a list
server.

Hope this makes it.

I have been pursuing an interest in various tabular
sight reduction methods, ho201, 211, 214, 229, 249,
concise nautical almanac, etc.  I've written excel
versions of most. I recently ran accross a web site
with some very interesting programs.  It contains
about a dozen files with windows executables and basic
SOURCE code (!) that reproduce various tabular
methods. (Including those listed.) There isn't much
text on the site, so it's hard to google it.

An aside:
A very interesting book from the time when GHA was
just  coming into the Naut Alm along with RA.
Includes many example calculation of methods prior to
LOP. (and so cheap!)
