phoon - display current moon phase
phoon - program to display the PHase of the mOON. Unlike other
such programs, which just tell you how long since first quarter
or something like that, phoon *shows* you the phase with a little
picture. I've put an example at the end of this file. I first
wrote this program in Pascal / TOPS-20 at CMU in 1979; I translated
it to Ratfor / Software Tools in 1981; and now it's in C / Unix.
Files in this distribution:
README this
Makefile guess
phoon.c phase of moon display
astro.c phase of moon calculations
astro.h header file
phoon.1 manual for phase of moon program
date_parse.c date-parsing routine
date_parse.h header file
Unpack the files, edit Makefile and change the options to suit, make,
and enjoy! Feedback is welcome - send bug reports, enhancements,
checks, money orders, etc. to the addresses below.
