Tom Optional IBM-PC Software ASTRONOMICAL ALGORITHMS by Sax, one (1) 5.25-inch 360K or one (1) 3.25-inch 720K diskette, 8 Oz. ship wt. $24.95. This software is sold only to purchasers of the book at time of book purchase or later with the order form at back of book. The disk contains source code for all the necessary routines for developers of astronomical software, in one of three languages: Turbo Pascal 4.0 (or higher), QuickBasic 4.5, and Microsoft C. You must specify language when ordering. The availability of these routines and thousands of numerical constants (including the 2430 periodic terms from Appendix II) as magnetic media will allow programmers to concentrate on the application and the presentation of the results. These diskettes are therefore useful to beginners as well as experienced programmers. To illustrate how the various routines work together, the following sample programs are provided. They all use the routines in the library and cover all the important topics in the book.
