Hi Lincoln,

I have checked the subroutine SOUMOD (it use JPRECS) in CLCOR and can not
find there GR=.FALSE.. I see the right GR=.TRUE. instead.
Where did you find GR=.FALSE.?

Thank you for spurring me to look into this.
Are you referring to the entry 10928 of CHANGE.DOC (setting DELDAT=1e-06)
or to entry 10798 (FPARSE for equinox)?
I presume you refer to the former. The data was loaded at the AOC with
31DEC01 FITLD in mid-late June '01, and it is therefore afflicted with
erroneous apparent coordinates (change #10928).
Using v. recently loaded data, I have checked that the change in
J2000 coordinates sparked by CLCOR is the right order of magnitude.
All is well, almost.
My precision precession/nutation software predicts a modified J2000
coordinate that still does not agree with that CLCOR-modified J2000
coordinate. The difference is on the order of 5 mas, and for a source at
the equator, I believe my software is good at the 1 mas level. I
may have identified the cause...I notice that the GR correction in JPREC
is turned off (GR=.FALSE). Why?
Regards,
Lincoln
