I require either (a) source code, or (b) algorithms for plotting the 
locations of the inner planets in their orbits (as seen from "above") for 
historical (1700-2000AD) dates.  Extreme accuracy is not required.  The 
eventual application is for the Macintosh, but any source code which I 
could hack or algorithms I could implement would be fine.

Thanks, in advance, for any help; e-mail replies requested.
