Vic:
I created the data from the tables and formulas in AstroNav PC, which you
can find here: http://www.willbell.com/navigation/index.htm
Looked into the JPL thing too, but I'm afrrais that was way over my head...

Subject: Computer generated Almanac
Loath as SOME users of this list are to introducing computers into celestial
navigation, I would like to find someone that has used the "JPL Planetary
and Lunar Ephemerides" data to actually produce a computer almanac. I would
like to do so but am not sure how to proceed. I am NOT interested in getting
the data via the many excellent Web based systems as accessing the web is
NOT practical while at sea.
Any enlightenment will be appreciated.
TIA
Vic
