    Yes, you're right that there are parenthetical references to 'Rios', but
    those sections are directly pulled from Moore unedited, aren't they? Bowditch
    didn't write those references. Also note that they are way out of date. The "large
    and expensive tables" refer to a completely different method of clearing
    lunars which Mendoza Rios worked on some years earlier.

    Note: The following question is WAY off-topic but my curiosity is killing me:
    Bruce, do you have any idea why your "Re:" messages end up with strange gaps
    and odd characters in the Subject line (they make it that way to the Nav-L
    archive, too, so I conclude that it's 'not just me')? I notice that you have an
    AOL e-mail address, as do I, for this list... do you post from an Apple Mac or
    an older version of AOL or something? This is NOT important, but I had to ask.
    :-)
