Thanks for the pointer. My "source" is the Earth Orientation Parameter (EOP) data at http://www.celestrak.com/SpaceData/; specifically I autogenerate the module from http://www.celestrak.com/SpaceData/eop19620101.txt. Probably looks more complicated than necessary but I'm parsing the file anyway for other purposes. -Bjorn _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
