[OT] sunrise sunset data via rebol ?

Hi
Does anyone know any web service which you can access via Rebol to return
raw data for sunrise, sunset etc.
For example: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.html
But I don't want html, just some params I can set and get via rebol [as
Vanilla dynascript].
Thanks - Jason

hi Jason
nope, don't know
you could either post and screen scrape a page such as the one
in your example or write your own sunrise function in rebol.
I would not mind writing it but cannot take the time, well ...
for at least a month.
here is the math to write your own

example javascript calculators here:

someone translated the above to excell (vba)

Thanks Tom..
Great links. I'll probably just translate the javascript one into Flash and
Rebol.
screen scrape
is such a great phrase :-)
