If you go to this site: http://www.locutuscodeware.com you can get a System Tray device called MoonPhase 2.1 that works with 95 and NT. ________________________________________________________________ Doug Barnard Virtual Acreage Agoura, California (near L.A.)

Used to be seen in any good barber shop or garage. It had these pages that flipped with each month on a separate one and a nice picture too, usually a nude strategically holding a set of wrenches and wearing a shop apron, things like that. If you could tear your eyes away from the picture and look at the month, you would see these little filled in and empty circles and half spheres next to some of the dates, meaning full moon, new moon and half moons. Retrieving a future month's information was fairly easy, turn the calendar's screen by hands like you would a scroll button and voila it would appear with its appropriate moon phases, and the nude might be wearing a Santa Claus hat. This tradition is still preserved in source books like Eldridge Tide and Pilot Book, alas, minus the nudes :-). And it has additional critical information...what dates the moon is in perigee and apogee, which has about the same effect on tides and currents as do the moon phases. If you have the moon full or new and in perigee (closest to earth in its orbit) watch out!!! ralph -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
