Thanks Bill -- I downloaded that program and ran it. It has one
problem however: no coastlines or country boundaries are drawn, only
the areas of visibility of the eclipse are drawn. Is there a missing
file somewhere?

It also appears some of the source files are missing: several .h
files are #include'd which aren't there in that zip file.

Another old program of yours is:

JEVENT EXE 71.512 93-02-27 12:24

It appeared in the Guide v 2 CD, but not on versions 5 to 7. I
like that program: it outputs a list of Galilean satellite events
with Jupiter for any time period of your choice. However the
length of that time period is limited to 100 days, so you cannot have
it generate a list of Jovian satellite events for the whole year.

Do you by chance still have the sources for that program too? If so,
are you willing to share them?
