A while back in 1988 I obtained a real nice tool for the Sun, called
suntool.  It's very exact in representing the phase of the moon and
greatly attemts to even provide up-to-the-second distance from the
earth.  It was written by John Walker, Autodesk, Inc.  I have
version 2.0.

Anybody out there know how to contact the author?
