Julian Date & Moon Phase Calculator
Version 2.0
Date: 20 June 2006

How to Install:
Simply unzip in a directory of your choice, preserving path names.

Notes:
- Julian dates are good from 19 Sep 1752 (previous versions went all the way back to Julian Day 1, but some limits imposed by built in functions used). Can go forward to just about any date. See the US Naval Observatory for more at: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/JulianDate.html

- Moon phase is a rough estimate, but it should get you to within a half day of actual. For precise dates/times of moon phases and more info, try these links:

- Moon phases and Julian dates are calculated from UTC

- Local times are based on a read of the Microsoft Windows TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION structure (see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/time_zone_information_str.asp)
Biases read from this structure are applied to address standard time and daylight saving time for local time, but I've only applied logic for the US time zones to indicate (above local time) "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving" time.

- If you double click on the "Local Date/Time" Label you'll get a popup that indicates the standard and daylight names for the zone read from your computer.

Cheers!
