Tried ITrack, SuM, and TRAK_SM.  All three agreed perfectly, 2-3 figures
past the decimal point.  

Tried the MOON.TXT keps.  WISP choked on them.  SATPC32 accepted them, but
the azimuth was about 4 degrees different, and the elevation off by about 15
degrees.  Since SuM is correct, it looks like the pseudokeps are only close.

I just tested the keps below from moon.txt.  SatPC accepts them ok, but 
unfortunately here in Plains, Montana right now we have 100% overcast so 
I can not sight the moon.
