Many people have been asking me for the original BASIC version of the Comet Halley Ephemerides "C" program which I posted a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, I do not have a transmittable copy of the BASIC version. The original BASIC program appeared in the February 1985 issue of Astronomy magazine. This magazine is indexed in the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature; most libraries should have a copy. If you are unable to get your hands on a copy of this issue, you can write to the publishers: AstroMedia Corporation 625 E. St. Paul Avenue P.O. Box 92788 Milwaukee, WI 53202 They often have back issues available for sale at the cover price ($2.00). The issue, again, is Feb 1985, and the article is entitled "Computing the Ephemeris of Comet Halley" by Roger Browne.
