I'm looking for a simple phase-of-the-moon program, to produce a
single-line text string appropriate for use in mail headers. You
know, like
Phase-of-Moon: Two days before full.
or
Phase-of-Moon: Gibbous and on the wane.
I've seen Jef Poskanzer's phoon, but it doesn't do what I want. (I'm
also suspicious of the algorithm it uses.)
Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

In the same vein, I've heard that there is a program for the X-Window System which draws the current lunar phase into a window. Has anybody out there seen this?? -mike --- Michael D.
