Software or chart to calculate sunrise/sunset position

Does anyone know of software or printed material that gives the position and time of sunset and sun rise at any given time of year at any given location? Thanks in advance.

Also see this website for a nifty shareware program for the sun and the moon. http://www.iserv.net/~bsidell/moonrise.htm

sunPATH is an excellent program by David Parrish of Wide Screen Software. This is a program that is widely used in the motion picture industry and will give you a tremendous amount of useful information. WSS can be reached at (818) 764-3639. A friend of mine who is a DP uses this all the time and loves it. Good luck, hope it helps.
