    Hi Dave,

    Thanks for giving it a try on Linux, and for the feedback.

    "Off by tenths of a nm" doesn't quite give me enough to go on yet — could you tell me a bit more?

    • Which calculation this is on (sight reduction/intercept, DR/EP, a route, lunar distance…)?
    • What you compared it against (Nautical Almanac, another program, a known reference position…)?
    • Ideally the exact inputs (UTC date/time, assumed position, and the body if it's a sight reduction) plus the value you got vs. the one you expected?

    With that I can try to reproduce it here. This early in the software's life, that's exactly the kind of report I want to chase down — feel free to post the details here or send them to auriciel21@gmail.com, whichever's easier.

    Thanks again for testing it.
