phours
What Is phours?
phours is a program for generating a table of planetary hours for a given date and place, which are used in astrology and magickal work.
Development Status
phours 0.26 is currently alpha software, but basic functionality should be stable. The worst that is likely to happen is data errors.
phours has been developed under Linux (SuSE 9.1/i586), but it should work on most any Unix flavor. It has also been tested on OS X Snow Leopard. It may be ported, possibly, with some hacking, to Windows.
Dependencies
phours requires a Bourne compatible shell (/bin/sh), GNU compatible 'install', and 'wget' for retrieving sunrise/sunset data from aa.usno.navy.mil.
Downloads
The current version of phours is 0.26. The gzipped source tarball may be downloaded here.
Previous releases can be found here.
Note that this is still alpha-level software. Please let me know how it works for you (or if it doesn't).
