    Ken,

    Right you are. I noticed the error when making subsequent posts, but
    didn't correct it. My apologies. I don't know of online sources of
    the almanacs, although I just received the new MICA, version 2.0.

    Just to repeat information posted earlier, MICA is the _M_ultiyear
    _I_nteractive _C_omputer _A_lmanac, for which one has to pay a nominal
    fee. It was prepared by the U.S. Naval Observatory. It is shipped on
    a CD with printed manual and available for both Mac & PC. The Mac
    version requires OS 9.2.2 or higher, but they recommend a G3 processor
    or higher. The PC version requires a 200-Hz Pentium or higher and
    Windows 98 or higher. It is good for the years 1800 to 2050, and
    available from Willbell.com, Celestaire.com, and other stores.

    Fred
