Added ephemeris download

Post by jsachs »

I recently revived a program I wrote more than twenty years ago to compute rise and set times and locations for the sun and moon given a date and location. There is now a download link to it on the Downloads page, just below the Moon calendars.

I still have that program on my computer sixteen years later. Is the program "revised" or merely the identical thing, "revived".

I had to make some minor changes, including allowing the entry of years past 2019 and revising the help file.

Cool little calculator. Not sure why, but when I open the Help file, the headings are listed but there is no content.

It reminded me to look for the moon this morning:

It works here, but I made a slight change that may help -- try downloading it again.

Okay, ver 3.0.0.1 downloaded, but sorry to say that did not improve things.

Yes, I tried that too. The Help window opens up, the list of contents is displayed, but the contents panel is blank

OK, try 3.0.0.2 -- it has no help file, just a pdf manual which is launched from the help menu.
