Satellite orbits are (sometimes) computed using Julian dates. This also allows ephemeris data from before the adoption of the Gregorian calendar to work smoothly for planetary calculations.

It is a ...

John is right, and a clarification is needed.

If you are using Clearwin+ (i.e. building windows/dialogs), then the Silverfrost DLL's are automatically used (invisible to you, unless you look deepl ...

Oh, sorry! I "misspoke". I meant that there are a number of calculations that would be better done using *D or *PI functions, making the reading of them simpler, versus complex. Mostly invol ...

Paul, this will be a nice addition. I have some complex equations that will be simplified (to the eye, at least) using these new features.

Thanks for all you do!

I've used both extensively. They differ only in the way that, internally, the file name is asked for. Once the file name is supplied, there isn' ...

I think the same could happen with OneDrive or any of the automated cloud backup applications like them.

BTW, the problems became less and less (during testing) as my internet speed got f ...

Just a FWIW, years ago as I was transitioning my SW to FTN95, I kept getting error messages in the 10000's. I finally was able to determine that this had to do with my DropBox "getting in the way ...

Robert, thanks for the on-line link!

Since you only compute a single value, there appears to be only one output, given the input "mass".

I'm not understanding the question, and would be glad to help, as would most folks on t ...

Thanks, Paul!

A general problem might be the use of the pipe.

Windows does not operate like Linux, specifically that a pipe does not concurrently run at the same time as the "sending" command.
