I am interested in mathematical astronomy and calendars.
I am looking for a source of high-precision (sub-arc-second) solar, lunar,
and planetary position algorithms for long periods (e.g. 10,000 BC to
10,000 AD).
On the other hand, if there is interest, I can supply information about
the roman catholic lunar calendar (the date of easter is dependent on this)
and the jewish calendar (the algorithm has been spot checked at century
intervals and in this century against tables available at the chicago
college of judica).
I also have a PL/1 and IBM 370 assembler program to print a calendar
based on my efforts to find these algorithms. I could put these in
net.sources.
