    Sean and Marcel, if you want to discuss emulators, there are FAR better places on the Internet for this. Marcel, you asked if anyone knew anything about the "Limbo PC Emulator". This is way, way down on the list of "related topics" for NavList members. You'll do much better just by doing a standard Internet search on something like "Limbo PC emulator reviews". There are specialty groups devoted to this sort of extremely narrow, specialized topic.

    But back to navigation software, I'm curious, Sean, what you're getting out of that old "ICE" software that you can't find in more modern software. If it's simply a familiar tool, and you don't want to change if you don't have to, that's reason enough! But are there functions or features that you don't find in modern tools? Also, isn't "delta-T" hard-coded in ICE, or is there an external data file that can be updated? Most older ephemeris/almanac software from more than 15 years ago suffers from incorrect delta-T values for current dates which leads, most noticeably, to progressively inaccurate Moon data.
