[comp.sources.wanted] Planet position plotting software ?

cep@apple.com (Christopher Pettus) (06/22/89)

I require either (a) source code, or (b) algorithms for plotting the 
locations of the inner planets in their orbits (as seen from "above") for 
historical (1700-2000AD) dates.  Extreme accuracy is not required.  The 
eventual application is for the Macintosh, but any source code which I 
could hack or algorithms I could implement would be fine.

Thanks, in advance, for any help; e-mail replies requested.

   There was a posting of an almanac that contains the information
you need.  At least I think it does.  It is certainly worth a look.
It is a hypercard stack called 'Almanac'.
