BhaktAdigale,

(Pardon me for the late wish)

There is a PERL Script for Calculating Panchangam. I am not sure 
whether it is synchronised for Sri Vaishnava use. I request members 
who are well versed in software to try to convert this script into a 
stand alone programme, which can be used by any one.

WARNING: This does not work on WINDOWS or MAC, you need SOLARIS or 
UNIX to try the script.

All Due regards to Sri Ravishankar Mayavaram who originally pointed 
out the source of the script in another esteemed electronic forum.

===========================================================
There is a perl script for computing panchanga at

ftp://ccftp.kyoto-su.ac.jp/pub/doc/sanskrit/pancanga/

For personal use, I think one can modify and get the data one needs.
especially for sa.nkalpam if one needs, naxatra, tithi, yoga, karaNa
etc at a particular place and at local time. It is quite handy.

Espcially things change during the day. In the following data, at the
end data is printed for 6, 8, 18, and 20 hours of 3/17/2001, and you
will see the changes. Especially if your prayer hour varies, you may
want to set it up for a range  (6-8 am/pm)

20h Phalguna       K  9(0.477)   P-asadha taitila     varIyas

=============================================================

Again, I am not sure wheter this panchangam is syncrhonised with Sri 
Vaishnava useage. I request members who want to work on this script 
to get in touch with elder members to figure out how to programme an 
electronic panchangam for Sri Vaishnava use.

Regards,

Adiyen Ramanuja Daasan,
