phoon - display current moon phase

phoon - program to display the PHase of the mOON. Unlike other such programs, which just tell you how long since first quarter or something like that, phoon *shows* you the phase with a little picture. I've put an example at the end of this file. I first wrote this program in Pascal / TOPS-20 at CMU in 1979; I translated it to Ratfor / Software Tools in 1981; and now it's in C / Unix.
