Retrograde Status Calculator

Which planets are retrograde on a date, with each body's longitude and speed, and the two stations that open and close the period it is currently in — so the answer is not only "yes" but "since when, and until when". The Sun, the Moon, Rahu and Ketu are excluded, and the answer says why.
