I have little clue how other moonclocks work, so I don't doubt that you are correct :)
I actually only put that value string in there because I wanted to learn the basics of the EDC format and embryo, including text display. The moon phase value is used to select the image to display, and as it was readily available, I chose to display it. Then it grew on me so I left it in there.
Anyway, it's just some simple maths to get it to work as you describe, so I think I can get that fixed up for next time round :-)
Thanks for the feedback!

Hello David,
that would be 4 users then. ;-)
woohoo! The hard work was done by the people whose code and graphics I re-used - kudos to them :-)
I just installed the current version of your moon module, and I wonder
if there's a bug in the module, or if it just uses a "unusual" way of
displaying the moon phase value.
There will be new moon tomorrow, so there isn't really much visible
anymore. The image display correctly, it just shows a small crescent
on the left side. But the moon phase value states 96,19%.
From other moonclocks I'm used to the moon phase value showing the
amount of moon visible. That would make 0% for every new moon, and
100% for every full moon. If I understand the value correctly it seems
that an entire moon month ranges from 0% to 100%. Am I mistaken here?
