I thought it too easy to bother with making another version, anyone should be
able to convert to 3.6 in about ten minutes. You have to input Julian manually
and replace glows.
In planets.inc replace
//#include "megatime.inc" // declare JulianDate, ctime, Time, Date
with functions from that page you need to:
#declare JulianDate = 2454679.92648; // solar eclip
#declare ctime = j2ctime(JulianDate);
j2datetime(JulianDate)
Replace glows with something like:
laser(A,B,rad,C)
