It's still not right because JD=1 does not correspond to Jan 1, year  
1.  So JD=2000*365 is not the year 2000.  You can use J2000, which is  
#defined to the JD of 1/1/2000.

KSNumbers( J2000 );
long double jy;  //jy is years since 2000
for ( jy=0.0; jy<10000.0; jy += 500.0 ) {
	num.updateValues( J2000 + jy*365.238 );
