Summary

Astronomical Julian Date calculator

TESTING: After the jday and j2d binaries are built, run the shell script: RunTest to test both of those binaries.

The PERL examples can be tested with JdayTest.pl

The dbd - days between dates example can be tested with Testdbd

jday - with no arguments will print out the current Julian date based on your system clock and timezone. If your timezone or system clock are inaccurate, the output of jday will also be inaccurate
