Dear Friends,

There is a new sundial generator online that is one of the most
interesting I have seen. It was done in java and javascript by Robin
Walker, a Junior Bursar at Queens' College, Cambridge UK, and is based
on the famous dial overlooking the Old Court at Queens' College.

The generated dial includes altitude and azimuth indications - as does
the original - and the face can be oriented to any bearing or
elevation.  

Mr. Walker describes the generator as being "a pre-alpha proof of
concept in development terms". It does not currently work with MSIE for
Mac. Also when entering data, note that the bearing is measured
from north.
