Arthur and other list members,
I have not yet dicided if I will put an interface for the program on a
website, or if I will make a distributable version of the program. Both
will cost me considerable effort. In the mean time, I will make tables for
the rest of the year and put them on a website. That will be easy to do,
and it leaves me enough time to prepare tables for anybody interested in
distances of, say, january 1767. Tables will probably be on line end of
this week.
I have to confess that I did not poke around in the Steve Moshier's aa
code, mainly because I didn't feel like figuring out what parts of code are
involved in which computations. It looked like it was very easy to include
(or leave out) the wrong parts. So instead I wrote a script that calls the
aa program whenever it needs astronomical input, and then it filters the
output to get what it needs. It's rough and dirty and heavy on cpu time.
But it works.
Steven
