In my previous message, I of course mistyped "RA" for "JD",
and mistyped the constant at the end. Rats. The correct conversion is
real JD = [ (database JD)/1,000,000 ] + 2,450,000
so that
database 696720180 ---> 2450696.72 = Sep 5, 1997 UT 05:16:48
My apologies for any confusion. Thanks to Herb for
pointing out my mistake.
