# 1995 moon phase information for Pcal (from Old Farmer's Almanac)
#
# This file is to be called .moon95 (or moon95) for Un*x, moon95.dat for VMS;
# it is to live in the same directory as the .calendar file or in the directory
# where the Pcal executable lives.
#
# Moon file syntax:
#
# The user may enter the dates and (optionally) times of quarter
# moons (from a reliable source such as an almanac or astronomical
# table) into a file called .moon%y (moon%y.dat on VMS), where %y is
# the last two digits of the year. If such a file exists (in the
# same directory as the date file, or in the directory where Pcal
# itself lives), Pcal will interpolate the phase of the moon from the
# information in this file instead of using the default algorithm.
#
# (Pcal originally used an extremely simplistic moon phase algorithm;
# the moon file was added to v4.0 to enable Pcal to interpolate the
# phase of the moon from the [presumably more accurate] information
# within. More recently, the original moon phase algorithm was
# superseded by an astronomer-strength version, largely obviating
# the need for a moon file; however, it will continue to be
# supported for the foreseeable future.)
#
# Entries in the moon file must conform to the following syntax:
#
# if -A flag (American date formats) specified:
# <quarter> <month><sep><day> {<hour><sep><min>}
#
# if -E flag (European date formats) specified:
# <quarter> <day><sep><month> {<hour><sep><min>}
#
# where
#
# <quarter> := "nm", "fq" or "1q", "fm", "lq" or "3q" (new
# moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter)
# <hour> := number 0-23 (24-hour clock)
# <min> := number 0-59
#
# This file must contain entries for all quarter moons in the year,
# in chronological order; if any errors are encountered, Pcal will
# revert to using its default algorithm.
#
# As in the date file, comments start with '#' and run through
# end-of-line.
#
# Dates and times below are for Boston (EST), in -A format; you may wish to
# adjust these dates and times to conform to your location.
