Today's update:=0A=0AI have been able to build and run the library=0Awith t=
he lunar.c example code.  It appears to run successfully. (It was=0Acloudy =
here last night and I was not able to compare lunar disk=0Avisibility in th=
e sky but the US Naval Observatory website agreed with=0Athe lunar disk vis=
ibility).  I am now waiting on my administrator to=0Ainstall libnova on the=
 linux (debian) server I use.  I can't wait to=0Adiff the output of both.  =
Once all the examples are tested I'm going to=0Aclean my code and would lik=

th the managed code (.net 2.0) option=0Aon.  There was a noticeable differe=

I couldn't find libnova.h, it is there as expected.=0A=0ASecond, I have bee=

have some time very soon.=0A=0AThird, once I'm ready to start submitting co=
de to the CVS repository I would like to add 2 source and 2 header file, "l=
ibnova_win" and "libnova_c89". It will contain the c89 and win32 replacemen=
ts to the posix and c99 math functions.  This brings up two issues: 1, it i=
s possible to make the library completely c89 compliant; 2, it is possible =
to replace all the non reentrant functions, in the windows port, with ones =
that are through the extensions provided by Posix (for the linux version) a=
nd Win32.  The current code can be replaced with the Posix ones and I can d=
efine the Win32 equivalent to substitute the identifiers (ie #define strtok=
_r strtok_s).=0A=0AFourth, via define's  i've seen Win32 and __Win32__ I wo=
