XEphem (v3.4) is written by Elwood Downey and available in general from his web site: http://www.clearskyinstitute.com/xephem/index.html XEphem for OpenVMS v3.2.3 is on the Freeware v5.0 discs and I also have it on my anonymous ftp server at: ftp://www-pi.physics.uiowa.edu/~dyson/xephem-3_2_3-vms.zip The old text-based ephem is still around, but not being updated by Elwood any more. I should be able to dig it up if someone wanted it. > I've also just located a Freeware Postscript file that generates > monthly calendars, with ephemeral data included.

There are some lunar calendar PS files, etc. that are bundled with the PCAL package on the Freeware v5.0 disc, too. Regards, Rick Dyson -- Richard L.
