With a bit of Googling I managed to find: http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/projects/lcl.pdf which goes into calculations in great detail and also has code (I think in Mathematica) embedded. Apart from that, there are a few links that may be useful at: http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/calendar/indian.shtml And finally, a look at the Astrolog source code may be be able to give you some insight into the calculations themselves... Astrolog does do a Vedic chart too, so presumably it can do calculations for Indian calendars. I'd appreciate it if you (a) released whatever code you write under a FOSS licence and (b) kept the list (or at least me) posted on progress in the app. Now over to the GPL vs BSD fanatics who will help you decide which licence to use for your code ;-) Regards, -- Raju -- Raj Mathur [email protected] http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F PsyTrance & Chill: http://schizoid.in/ || It is the mind that moves -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
