I am looking for a routine that will return the phase of
the moon (in floating, a 0-28 integer, or  whatever) from a
Unix binary time gotten from 'long time()' or any of the
other time routines.  I am only interested in the level of
accuracy given on calendars with the little pictures of the
new moon, first quarter, full moon, and third quarter on
them, so timezone and daylight savings corrections are
optional.  Alternately, anyone who has already built a
phase of the moon feature into your 'calendar' utility,
would you be willing to share the code?
	(-)NX in advance,
	Doug Freyburger
