Re: inputting the ephemerides

There was no DX variable.
CX is defined as a character.
IACHAR(CX) gets the ascii character set number position; ICHAR gets
the processor alphabet position; not always the same. This is probaly
OK when looking for digits which aways occupy 48 to 57.

Hm! I find typing in Google sometimes stops and loses characters!
I know I transpose "form" and "form" and "fisrt" and "first".
different speeds with different "digits". Musical but NOT a pianist
unfortunately.
You know "to figure" comes from the Latin "fingere" a finger, or built-
in twin set abacus?

There are typos in George's version athat are not in my posted
version.
But excuses aside, surely the code idea is understandable?
