I was searching for a software that could convert the normal English date to Julian day of the specific year. I work in the field of Remote Sensing and to know the distance between Earth and Sun (from a literature source mentioning 365 days and distance relationship)I needed this software .The literature mentioned Julian Date 02197 = 07/16/2002. I tried with the software putting these data, but I couldn't find the relationship between these two dates. The software probably gives the total data since the start of Julian date, but I need to covert it in the specific day of the specific year. It didn't really helped me.

Version: 1.0I installed the software as I need a quick and easy way to convert to and from Julian dates. Unfortunately it does not appear to convert properly so I decided to remove it from my system. I hope it helps.

Version: 1.0The program works fine. However I didn't read the name carefully. I was and am looking for a program that will convert date and time to Julian Date. ie. June 09, 2008 20:11:56 to 2454627.341620

It would be nice if in would display the current julian date on start up. And converting julian date to date did not work

Version: 1.0I am working with a somewhat antiquated accounting software that requires Julian date conversion for transaction reference numbers when operating in the error recovery functions. Without this software, I would have been unable to address my issue and correct the problem. I downloaded the free trial version and am seriously considering purchasing the program. It's just to convenient not to have on-hand.
