If you're trying to deal with that calendar, even that won't work since it is based on the physical sighting of the crescent after the new moon (if it's overcast at sundown, no new month for you). Even absent that you would have to have a latitude and longitude to figure out if the crescent was visible at sundown at the particular location. I once suggested it might be more cost effective to arrange to paint the moon black so that calendar was no longer able to be used. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
