This program will enable you to find every solar eclipse in between about 2500 BC to 3500 AD. The central line can be displayed graphically and saved as a JPEG or PNG image file or as a PDF document.

Saros version 1.2 has been released yesterday! A lot of code cleanup has been done and a lot of unnecessary code and files have been removed. Some parts had to be rewritten to make saros compatible to Perl 5.8. Error handling has been improved, and every known bug has been fixed (PDF creation now works under Windows, as well). The output of the text-report has also been improved. English language support is now included.

Last but not least, I've written a small installation routine that uses make(1). This version provides German and English language support.

I've set up a forum for saros at my homepage (http://www.tokkee.de). Please feel free to use it for any kind of disussion related to saros! Due to time problems, the C++ Version of saros still is in planning stage... sorry for that.
I started out rewriting SAROS in C++ using the Qt toolkit. This will make it easier to create binaries for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. Since I do not have access to Qt on Windows and the Mac, I will need some developer to compile binaries for these platforms. Please send me a note to saros (at) tokkee (dot) de if you are interested!
