I'm interested in this also, is this the book that comes with the
software on disk?  The local bookstores don't seem to have it, and
would like to know before I order it...

I recently went through the excercize of translating some of 
Peter Duffet_Smith's book "Astronomy on your Calculator" (not sure
of the exact title) for a shareware program I'm writing.  However I'm
not happy with the results I get (occassionaly see errors as large
as a degree in declination and at least several minutes RA...).  
Are the algorithms in the Meeus book a bit better? 

Thanks,
