David Herald's Occult has long been the standard among the IOTA caboodle:

In the 80's, I had a DOS program from Zephyr called "Lodestar". You
could set it to look for conjunctions and occultations between two
dates of your choice, (within reason), for any two major solar system
bodies. I don't know if it still available (the software).

There's the Lunar Occultation Workbench (LOW). Very good program. To be
downloaded from: http://occultations.astronews4you.com/
