aa200c.zip: JPL ephemeris reader; size 300 KB.
AA200 reads astronomical ephemerides, in the data format produced by Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and reduces the barycentric coordinates to printouts of geocentric and topocentric place. Specific configurations for the DE406 CD-ROM from Willmann-Bell, DE431, DE430, DE421, DE408, DE406, DE405, DE404, DE403, DE400, DE245, DE200, DE102, and DE118I.ZIP ephemerides are supplied. The ephemeris data files themselves are not supplied; get them from Willmann-Bell or from JPL's ftp site. Answers for DE200 from this program should agree with Astronomical Almanac tabulations from about 1984 onward. Additionally, the program can reduce star catalogue positions given in either the FK4 or FK5 system. It can also find positions from heliocentric orbital elements. Source code listings in C language are supplied with Visual Studio 2012, other Microsoft, Borland, Linux and Unix build scripts. The archive includes a Win32 executable program configured for the DE430 ephemeris. Support for NAIF .BSP file data structure has been added to accommodate DE408, DE421, DE430 and DE431. Latest update 2014-03-09.

Note, for dates more recent than 1300 B.C. the ephemeris in aa-56.zip (see above) is about an order of magnitude more precise. This archive also includes a second program that extends the ELP2000-85 analytical lunar theory to cover a 22,000-year interval centered at J2000, based on the DE200 physics model.

hexfloat.zip: Hexadecimal floating-point constants; size 7KB.
GNU C compiler source code patch to make gcc recognize floating-point numbers written not only in the usual decimal notation, such as 1.55e1, but also numbers such as 0x1.fp3 written in hexadecimal format per the ISO C99 C language standard. In that format the 0x hex introducer and the p or P exponent field are mandatory. The exponent is a decimal number that indicates the power of 2 by which the significand part will be multiplied. Thus 0x1.f is 1 15/16, p3 multiplies it by 8, and the value of 0x1.fp3 is the same as 1.55e1. The patch works with either gcc 2.8.1 or egcs.
