Dear friends of XEphem,
I can see files with names similar to those mentioned by Elwood in the following directory:
This includes, among others, jupiter.2040, mars.2040, saturne.2040 and uranus.2040.
Would they help?
Yours,
Maxime

It looks like those moon models came from the Bureau des Longitudes. The XEphem bdl.c code mentions an FTP site that isn't there any more. The Wiki Pedia says BDL's ephemeris functions have been taken over by Institut de M¨¦canique C¨¦leste et de Calcul des ?ph¨¦m¨¦rides but I can't get into imcce.fr by anonymous FTP to see whether they have a directory analogous to the one mentioned in the XEphem code.
Someone more knowledgeable than myself would have to look at this.? I haven't divined from the bdl.c code what all the various fields in the XEphem model files are.
