Questions for psGetMJD() Function

[calvin.harman@…]

Section 5.1 for the SDRS has the psGetMJD() function return the Modified Julian
Days (MJD) value into a psTime struct. How should modified Julian days be
packed into the psTime struct? Or should psGetMJD() simply return a long with
units of days?

TAI calculates MJD as a whole number, and not in terms of fractional days. Are
fractional days expected?

[calvin.harman@…]

Maybe this function should be replaced with a new function named psGetTime
(psTime time) and allow the already listed psTimeToMJD() function to convert to
MJD time?

we have made some changes to the APIs to clear this up. we have dropped
psGetSidereal and psGetMJD and instead created:

psTime psTimeGetTime (void);

which returns the current time in the correct psTime units.

double psMJDToSidereal (double MJD, double longitude);
double psSiderealToMJD (double sidereal, double longitude);

which convert betwee MJD and Sidereal given the longitude.

psTime functions have changed significantly in the new SDRS. Hence this bug is
probably no longer relevant.
