Re: GRS longitude syst.II
The jupiter.1020 bdl file is now out of date so the values are being computed using Meeus copyright 1982. The GRS has migrated several degrees away from the model built at that time.

Re: Strange jumps of Pluto between 2246 and 2247B (fwd)
Happily, these elements sit in the raw C code, which is impervious to any
whitespace sensitivity. So they should not be haunted by any format
problems.
I am reverting the recent commit and restoring

Re: Strange jumps of Pluto between 2246 and 2247
Dear friends,
Indeed, 2247/10/1 is the date the jump occurs for me. I am impressed that you found out so quickly!

Re: Strange jumps of Pluto between 2246 and 2247
