This directory contains a modified version of Stephen L. Moshier's
Astronomical Almanac package V5.1.  Many changes were made to make
the code compile under gcc 2.3.3 in ANSI mode on a Sun IPC (4/40)
running SUNOS 4.1.2 (SOLARIS 1.1.2), and using gmake 3.63.

There were also many modifications made to the code in order to
make the interface to the UNIX satellite tracking software easier.

The source code was placed under the Revision Control System (RCS)
in order to track modifications to the code and as a safety feature
while modifying the code.  

Directions for using the almanac program are contained in the
README.orig file.  Note that the local site information must be 
contained in either a ~/.site.ini file or a ./.site.ini file.

The almanac program has been checked against an example run furnished
with the original software as well as with the Astronomical Almanac for 
the years 1981, 1986, and 1993.
