          These programs generate and maintain star chart data in  the
          format used by the s✓s✓s✓st✓t✓t✓ta✓a✓a✓ar✓r✓r✓rc✓c✓c✓ch✓h✓h✓ha✓a✓a✓ar✓r✓r✓rt✓t✓t✓t software tools.

          Planetary information is generated by  the  program  p✓p✓p✓pl✓l✓l✓la✓a✓a✓an✓n✓n✓ne✓e✓e✓et✓t✓t✓t,
          which  calculates  locations a given Julian date, or for the
          current time  (given  no  arguments).   In  common  use,  an
          alternate  syntax is provided to simplify the calculation of
          the  Julian  date,  in  which  integers  for   month,   day,
          (mandatory),  and  year  are given. Time is specified in the
          form h✓h✓h✓hh✓h✓h✓h.✓.✓.✓.m✓m✓m✓mm✓m✓m✓m or h✓h✓h✓hh✓h✓h✓h on a 24-hour clock  and  defaults  to  0.00
          (midnight). The -✓-✓-✓-z✓z✓z✓z flag (same format as -t) gives the number
          of hours the observer is west of GMT (see below).

          A summary is then printed on the standard output giving  the
          right  ascension, declination and distance (in AU's) for the
          Sun and all planets except Pluto.  This data is additionally
          placed  in  the  file  p✓p✓p✓pl✓l✓l✓la✓a✓a✓an✓n✓n✓ne✓e✓e✓et✓t✓t✓t.✓.✓.✓.s✓s✓s✓st✓t✓t✓ta✓a✓a✓ar✓r✓r✓r  for  subsequent  use  by

          The program m✓m✓m✓mo✓o✓o✓oo✓o✓o✓on✓n✓n✓np✓p✓p✓ph✓h✓h✓ha✓a✓a✓as✓s✓s✓se✓e✓e✓e gives  the  current  lunar  phase.  At
          present  it  does not provide coordinate data for subsequent
          plotting.

          The program e✓e✓e✓ep✓p✓p✓po✓o✓o✓oc✓c✓c✓ch✓h✓h✓h converts right-ascension  and  declination
          data  within y✓y✓y✓ya✓a✓a✓al✓l✓l✓le✓e✓e✓e.✓.✓.✓.s✓s✓s✓st✓t✓t✓ta✓a✓a✓ar✓r✓r✓r style datasets from epoch 1975.0 into
          the epoch 2000.0.  Either the first or both epoch dates  may
          be  overridden  with command line parameters (floating point
          values). The data is read  and  written  from  the  standard
          input  and  output.  Because  only  the  coordinate  data is
          updated within each line item, the program may  be  used  on
          either versions of the reduced Yale data.
