Dear Monks;

Does anyone know if someone is working on a module for interacting with the Swiss Ephemeris?

http://www.astro.com/swisseph/?lang=e

Such a project may well take a while to complete once begun. I'd like to place some additional requests in regard to it being compatible with ActiveState Build 522 and if presented in a compressed format (like a *.zip file) that care be taken to compress it with WinZip, as files compressed with PowerArchiver provoke an error during the attempt to extract with a WinZip utility.

Also, it's been my (very) recent experience in attempting to extract the Win32::OLE module downloaded from CPAN that all forms successfully downloaded to a Win32OS fail to allow extraction with either WinZip or PowerArchiver. This is puzzling and implies that there's yet snother compression utility out there somewhere that may not be quite compatible with the ones I know about.

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely Yours;

Robert
