Salaam, I have taken another look at this. It seems that some of the values/astronomical equations used were not accurate enough. I did some testing last year but since the problem is more visible on leap years, like this year, I did not notice this until now. This is now fixed on CVS. Thanks for your excellent feedback. Just to summarize your findings and to also add the fixed ITL results, Here are the times again for 20040429: 5:35 13:01 20:28 libnova 5:35 13:03 20:29 yanabi.com 5:36 13:02 20:28 Abdali 5:36 13:01 20:26 marsbase.net 5:37 13:01 20:25 ITL 5:35 13:01 20:27 ITL-CVS Of course these are not the perpetual amounts of difference. These differences of minutes vary (up or down) through the year based on the equations used as well as the other factor's that I've previously mentioned on another post. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there will always be differences either below or above any of these tools on any given day. For example, if someone is concerned of Maghrib being one minute early on the ITL-CVS and late on hdate (from the list above), the reverse does happen. Here is a list of Sunrise/Sunset times of 20041103 on some of these tools: 7:04 11:47 16:30 marsbase.net 7:04 11:49 16:31 yanabi.com 7:05 11:48 16:31 ITL-CVS 7:05 11:48 16:30 Abdali (hdate) Regards, Thamer Mahmoud _______________________________________________ Developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
