What is MoonIcon?

     MoonIcon is a shareware MicroSoft Windows 3.x program that displays the
current phase of the Moon in an icon.  The icon's title displays the current
location of the Moon in the sky, or the last moonset/next moonrise time if the
Moon is below the horizon.  It also displays an analog clock, complete
with numerous options such as hand and face color, and hand size and shape.
Double-clicking on the icon displays the very-informative Sun and Moon info
screen that shows today's Sun and Moon rise and set times, along with the current
position of each body in the sky.  The current lunation cycle is also displayed
here, showing the dates and times of each lunar phase from one New Moon to the next.

     You can specify the icon's title to display the current time and/or date
in many different formats, as well as changing the icon's background color.
MoonIcon even adjusts automatically for daylight savings/summer time for
users in the United States, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.


Installing MoonIcon

  Simply use the Program Manager to create a New Program Icon in the group of
your choice and set the Working Directory to the subdirectory where you installed
the rest of the program files.  You may place the files in the subdirectory of your choice,
but the software must be able to find it's MOONICON.INI file there.

  If it cannot find the .INI file, then the About box will be displayed each
and every time you start MoonIcon.  See the Troubleshooting section for more
information.

  I also recommend placing the Program Icon in the Startup group so it loads
every time you start Windows.

  If you don't already have the file BWCC.DLL, make sure you copy it to your
Windows system subdirectory and erase any other older copies of it.  This file must
be available for MoonIcon to run.  See the file BWCC.TXT for more information.


Configuring MoonIcon

  Before you can use MoonIcon, you need to tell it where you live and how
to adjust for daylight savings time.  You can also select many different options
as well.  Select the following links for more information:

   Setting your Time Zone
   Adjusting for Daylight Savings/Summer Time
   Background/Text Colors/Hatch Styles
   "Always on top" feature
   "Preserve icon's screen position" feature

     Once you have set all the above options, you'll need to use the Your Location
dialog box to set your latitude, longitude and altitude so the Sun and Moon info
screen works correctly.

     You will also want to have a look at how you can change the icon's title.


Your Location
Your Location dialog box

     The Your Location dialog box allows you to enter your location's longitude,
latitude, and altitude.  This is necessary for the Sun and Moon info screen to work correctly.
Type in your city's name in the City field, and enter your location in the Longitude,
Latitude, and Altitude fields.  Use the following links to see a table of
these values, and find your city or use one that's nearby:

USA - Alabama to Montana
USA - Nebraska to Wyoming
European Cities
Australian Cities
Other World Cities

     Note that all United States cities are located in the Northern and Western
hemispheres, and that the tables list the altitudes in meters instead of feet.

  If you are on the Internet and have TelNet access, there is a weather
server available that lists the latitude and longitude of most of the world's
cities.  It also displays a great deal of other information as well, and is an
interesting and recommended site for "'Net surfers".  The server is called
martini.eecs.umich.edu and the port number is 3000.  It's IP address is
141.212.196.79.

     Next, you may want to use the Horizon Obstruction Adjustment fields if you
have objects such as buildings or hills near your location.  These prevent a clear
view of the horizon and affect the exact time of Sun and Moon rise and set times.
Normally you enter a positive number, say 30 or 45 seconds, in these fields, but if
you are near the top of a very large hill and look down at either horizon, a
negative number may be used.

     The Adjust for atmospheric refraction check box is mainly for amateur
astronomers who need precise sky locations for the Sun and Moon.  Un-check this
box if you require more accurate altitude determinations, but most people should
just leave it checked on.

  The Twilight Times box of radio buttons determines how you wish to
calculate the beginning of morning and the end of evening twilight.  Since "dark" is
a rather arbitrary term, twilight is officially determined as the time at which the
center of the Sun is 18° below the horizon.  The difference between this time and
sunrise/sunset is then divided into 3 equal periods, with one period for each of
three different purposes.

     For most people, the default value of Civil should be used, since this is the
time at which it's too dark for most ordinary outdoor activities to continue without
artificial lighting.  Civil twilight is the time at which the center of the Sun is
6° below the horizon.

     Ocean-going vessels use the Nautical twilight time calculation to define
darkness.  When the Sun is 12° below the sea horizon, ship captains can no longer
distinguish the night sky from the surface of the water.

     It is still too light outside for taking photographs of the stars and planets at
this point, so Astronomical twilight is used for astro-photographers.  The Sun
must be 18° degrees below the horizon for the night sky to be totally dark and ready
for capturing the wonders of space on film.

  The Background Effects box of radio buttons determines how you wish to
have the icon's background to change during twilight.  None will simply
use the background colors you have selected, but the Twilight setting
will cause MoonIcon to have a blue background when the Sun is up, and a
black background when the Sun is not in the sky.  During evening twilight, however,
the background color is gradually changed from blue to dark blue to purple and
finally to black, one color change per minute.  The background changes from black
to blue during morning twilight as well.

     The In-the-sky setting also shows twilight effects, but only when
the Moon is in the sky.  When the Moon is below the horizon, the icon is shown
with a transparent background.  This means that if the Moon is up during the
day, MoonIcon will show a blue background, and if the Moon is up during
the night, a black background is shown.  If the Moon is up during morning or
evening twilight, the appropriate twilight color is displayed.

  Finally, the 24-hour format check box in the Sun/Moon times area lets you
change the display of the time values on the Sun and Moon info screen.  Click this on
to show them in 24-hour (military) format, or leave it unchecked for 12-hour format.


Setting your Time Zone

  MoonIcon must know the time zone in which you live to display the icon
properly.  The default is the Eastern Standard Time time zone, which is
valid for cities in the United States such as New York City, Boston and Miami.
If you live in another time zone, you must select it yourself.

  When you first run MoonIcon, the program's About box appears.  Here you'll find
the list box Your Time Zone containing all of the world's time zones.  Simply
select the one in which you live.

     If you live in an area that has a difference of 30 minutes from the surrounding
time zone, click the 30 min check box on and your time will be adjusted
appropriately.


Adjusting for Daylight Savings/Summer Time

  There is a list box if you want the Daylight Savings Time (Summer Time)
adjustment applied or not.  Simply select the region in which you live.  If you select
Manual, the daylight savings time adjustment will be applied regardless of
today's date.  This means you must change this list box selection twice a year
when the time changes.  You also need to select this option if your region is
not listed below.  Tables that list the daylight savings time start/stop
dates for the other regions follow below.  If you select one of these,
the daylight savings time adjustment will be applied or not-applied
automatically based on today's date.  All daylight savings time adjustments
subtract 1 hour from the current time.

     Note that for some Australian cities, especially those in the Central Time Zone,
the start and end dates of Daylight Savings Time are subject to change from year to year.
Currently, the start date is near the end of October to the start/middle of March.
Likewise, New Zealand Daylight Savings Time starts on the first Sunday in October
and continues until the third Sunday in March.  Northern Hemisphere users such as
those in the United States and Europe should notice that "summer" for Southern
Hemisphere users occurs during the Northern "winter" months and vice versa.

  If you live in one of these regions and the above dates are incorrect, OR
if you live in another region not listed above, please contact me with
the correct dates so I can update my software.


Changing the icon's title

  You can change the title beneath the icon to whatever you like.  More
importantly, you can have the time and/or date displayed here as well.

     The About box has the default icon title set to ~i, which is a
special "code" to display the current position of the Moon in the sky, or
show the last moonset or next moonrise time if it's not visible.
You can add spaces between the various options to cause them to "wrap"
down to the next icon title line, if desired.

  If you prefer, you can change the title to be just a simple word or two, like
"Moon" or "Moon Phase".  This may be necessary to work with some screen savers.

All the available options are listed below:

Time options:
   ~1 =	12-hour format
   ~2 =	24-hour format
   ~a =	"am" or "pm"
   ~A =	"AM" or "PM"
   ~p =	"a" or "p"
   ~P =	"A" or "P"
   ~w =	Weekday name as "Mon", "Tue", etc.
   ~W =	Weekday name as "Monday", "Tuesday", etc.
   ~m =	Month name as "Jan", "Feb", etc.
   ~M =	Month name as "January", "February", etc.
   ~h =	Month number (1-12)
   ~d =	Day of the month number (1-31)
   ~y =	Year as "95", etc. (Year without the century)
   ~Y =	Year as "1995", etc. (Year with the century)
   ~o =	Ordinal suffix of "Day of the month" as "st", "nd", "rd", "th",
etc. (as in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.)

Moon options:
   ~i =	(default) Moon Visibility.
   ~I =	Moon position in sky
   ~r =	Sunrise time in hh:mm:ss format
   ~s =	Sunset time in hh:mm:ss format
   ~z =	Moon Phase ("Full Moon")
   ~v =	Moon is visible now/later/earlier
   ~V =	Moon is visible at these times: ("Evening to Dawn")
   ~g =	Moon's Age ("2 days, 3 hours, 42 minutes")
NOTE: See the Sun and Moon info screen for more
detailed solar and lunar information.

Example icon titles:

   Title:	Displays as:
   ~i	Rising in the East
   ~2 ~W ~m ~d~o	21:05 Saturday February 5th
   ~1~A	9:05PM
   ~w ~M ~d ~Y	Sat February 5 1994
   ~y.~h.~d	94.02.05
   ~z - ~V	Full Moon - Evening to Dawn
   Moon Phase	Moon Phase

  Feel free to experiment with different combinations!


Background/Text Colors
Background/Text Colors and Hatching

  You can select one of 16 different background colors.  The default is
black, but you can select another color if you prefer.  Also, the "transparent" color
allows you to display the icon with no background, appearing on top of whatever is
beneath it.  Note that the Background effects checkbox on the Your Location screen
must be set to None for these background colors to work correctly.

   You can also select the color of the text that the Sun and Moon info screen
uses.  By selecting the proper background and text colors, you can make this screen
very easy to read.  Note that "transparent" selections default the background to
black and the text to light gray.

   The Hatch Style list box allows you to specify different "cross-hatch"
styles for the background.  Normally, the background is one solid color, but
you may choose one of six hatch patterns if you like.


"Always On Top" feature

  You can click the Icon is always on top of windows button on to have
the MoonIcon icon stay visible when other windows are covering it.  When on, the
icon will always appear "on top of" the other windows instead of being "hidden"
beneath them.


"Preserve icon's screen position" feature

  You can click the Preserve icon's screen position button on to have
the MoonIcon icon remain in the same position on the screen the next time you
start Windows.  Usually, icons appear beside each other on the bottom of the screen
in the order that they are listed in the Startup group.  This option, however, lets
you move the icon to any place on the screen and it will appear there instead of with
the other icons.


"Sun and Moon info" window
Sun and Moon info window

  When you double-click the MoonIcon icon, or select the Sun and Moon info
window, the current date, time and icon are displayed in a full-screen window and
updated once a second.  More importantly, however, a great deal of information about
the Sun and Moon rise, transit, and set times for your location are displayed.
Make sure you have used the Your Location dialog box before examining
this screen.

     Among the values displayed are the twilight start, end and length times, and the
amount of available daylight and the difference in daylight from yesterday.  The
azimuth (location on the horizon) and altitude (height above the horizon) for the
rise, transit (time of highest altitude), and set times for both the Sun and the
Moon are shown as well.  If the Sun or Moon is above the horizon (in the sky),
it's current location is displayed.

     Detailed information about the Moon is provided, showing the current phase and
when to look for the Moon in the sky.  The moon fraction, or percentage of the
Moon that is lit by the Sun as seen from Earth, is displayed, as is the Moon's age
(amount of time since the last New Moon) and the orbit position in degrees (zero
degrees represents a New Moon).  Finally, the current lunation cycle is shown,
displaying the dates and times of each lunar phase from the previous New Moon to
the next.

     When you are finished reading, press the Minimize button in the upper right
corner to shrink the window back to the MoonIcon icon.


MoonIcon and Screen Savers

  In the default configuration, MoonIcon displays the Moon's current position.
Since this will automatically update the icon's title every half-hour or so, this may cause
some screen savers, which can sense such activity, to not activate.  I've
had reports that the After DarkTM screen savers work fine with MoonIcon's
defaults, but the Windows built-in screen savers are known to be a problem.

  A simple solution is to change the Icon Title field in the About box to a simple
word or group of words, such as "Moon" or "Moon Phase".  You will not be able
to show the time in MoonIcon's title (although you could still display the date),
but your screen savers should work again.  Consider using the clock feature
if you want to show the time in the icon.


Other related programs

  If you enjoy MoonIcon, look for these other icon-programs:

  EarthSun: Filename EARTHSxx.ZIP; a Windows icon that shows the current
sunlit-side of Earth.  Over 120 options, recommendations by 3 shareware magazines
and a review in a full-page newspaper article in Switzerland make this a fine
addition to your Windows desktop!

  MarsIcon: Filename MARSICxx.ZIP; a Windows icon that shows the current
view of the planet Mars.

  GRedSpot: Filename GREDSPxx.ZIP; a Windows icon that shows the current
view of the planet Jupiter, it's Great Red Spot, and the 4 Galilean moons Io, Europa,
Ganymede and Callisto.

  SolSys: Filename SOLSYSxx.ZIP; a Windows icon that shows the current
relative position of the nine planets in our Solar System.

All four icon-programs have been released and are available at many BBSs and
Internet FTP sites around the world.  I release them to the sites listed below:

  The Internet FTP sites oak.oakland.edu, subdirectory /pub3/win3/icon,
the extensive, but always-busy site ftp.cica.indiana.edu, subdirectories
/pub/pc/win3/desktop and /pub/pc/win3/icons, and their mirrors around
the world.  Note that if these subdirectories no longer exist at these sites,
the files are still there, but are probably just in another subdirectory with
a similar name.  Of course, most large FTP sites will carry these programs as
well, and some have corresponding WWW homepages for their FTP file archives.

  The experimental WWW site http://cayuga.law.cornell.edu/icons/homepage.htm
at the Cornell Law School.  This site is literally upstairs when I'm at work,
so updates are sure to be here first.  However, the site is only experimental
and may not always be available.  Check oak.oakland.edu above if you have any
trouble.

  The Software Creations BBS, (508) 365-2359 (2400,N,8,1), and in the Ziff Davis
Interactive (GO ZDI) and Astronomy (GO ASTROFORUM) areas  of CompuServe.

   All users receive the shareware versions of these programs when they
register MoonIcon.  The current versions are EARTHS45.ZIP,
MARSIC27.ZIP, GREDSP37.ZIP, and SOLSYS11.ZIP.

  Also in 1995, look for SatIcon which shows Saturn, it's rings and it's 8
most-visible moons, and TideIcon which displays the current height of the ocean tides
in your area.


Registering MoonIcon

     Print out the file ORDER.FRM to get a quick order form for registering
MoonIcon.  Remember, you can use File|Print Topic directly from that
window's menu, or send the file ORDER.FRM, included with the rest of the
program files, to your printer from the DOS prompt.  This shareware version is
not cripple-ware, nag-ware or free-ware, although it will remind you every 5
times to register until the evaluation period expires.  When you do register,
you will receive the latest executable version that allows UNLIMITED use of
the program with no reminder box and no expiration.

  All future versions/upgrades of this program are FREE to registered users.
When a new shareware version becomes available, just download it and copy
the new MoonIcon files to the registered version's subdirectory.  It's that simple!

     The registration fee is US $10.  If you particularly enjoy the software,
contributions of more than the basic fee are welcome and help to fund future versions.
Although not required, United States orders sending an extra US$2, and "foreign"
orders sending an extra US$3 to cover the cost of the diskette, disk envelope and
mailing charges will be greatly appreciated.  Site licenses, educational, and group
discounts are available as well; contact me for details.  Personal checks, money
orders and American Express, Visa, etc. traveler's checks are all accepted (sorry, I
do not yet accept credit card orders).  Of course, checks are not cashed until I mail
your copy.  I also accept payment in any currency from any country.  Although a few
people seem reluctant to send currency via regular mail, I have always received such
registrations with no trouble, and for "foreign" orders, payment in currency is
especially interesting.

     In addition to MoonIcon, you will also receive the shareware versions of 4
similar icon-programs for the Earth, the planets Mars and Jupiter, and the
Solar System.  You'll also receive an impressive (and my personal favorite)
Windows wallpaper .BMP file.

     If you are a Windows/C programmer, you may also purchase the full Borland C++
3.1 source code and Windows resource files used to make MoonIcon for US $35.  The
source code for each future version will also be available at a discount, and, needless
to say, many programming tips and tricks can be learned by studying this program.

  If you find MoonIcon useful, please upload it to other bulletin boards
and Internet FTP sites so other people can enjoy it, too!

MoonIcon is a shareware program and is provided at no charge to the user
for evaluation.  Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not
give it away altered or as part of another system.  The essence of
"user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality
software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers
to continue to develop new products.  If you find this program useful and
find that you enjoy MoonIcon, you must register it.  The registration fee
will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time.  You
must treat this software just like a book.  An example is that this software
may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one
computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it being
used at one location while it's being used at another.  It is just like a
book which cannot be read by two different people at the same time.

Anyone distributing MoonIcon for any kind of renumeration must first contact
W. Scott Thoman for authorization.  W. Scott Thoman should be advised
so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version.

Disk Vendors, Shareware Distributors and BBS(s) may charge a nominal fee
for distribution of the program.  The recipient of MoonIcon must be
informed, in advance, that the fee paid to acquire MoonIcon does not
relieve the recipient from paying the Registration Fee if the recipient uses
MoonIcon.

  You are encouraged to pass a copy of MoonIcon along to your friends for
evaluation.  Please encourage them to register their copy if they find
that they can use it, too.  Of course, all registered users will receive a copy
of the latest version of MoonIcon.

New Ideas

     If you have any ideas, please send them to me!  Any ideas for new features
or capabilities are always welcome!

  If I use your contributions, you will receive my thanks in the Acknowledgements
section and the latest registered version of MoonIcon free.


Troubleshooting

  If you get the About box each and every time you start the program, make
sure you have the program icon's Working Directory set to the directory
where you have the MOONICON.EXE file.  This allows the program to properly find it's
.INI file.  Make sure your MOONICON.INI file is in the same subdirectory as the
MOONICON.EXE file; if it isn't, move it to that subdirectory.  This is the recommended
way to keep all of MoonIcon's files together.

  If you prefer, you may also set the Working Directory to your Windows subdirectory
explicitly, or just leave it blank to have it default to your Windows subdirectory.  Again,
just make sure that MOONICON.INI is, indeed, located there.

  Finally, make sure the .INI file is marked as read/write (this is the default);
do NOT mark this file as read-only.

What Is ShareWare
What is ShareWare?

  If you're familiar with the idea behind Shareware, then you know
that Shareware is the ultimate in money-back guarantees.

     Most money-back guarantees work like this: You pay for the product
and then have some period of time to try it out and see whether or
not you like it.  If you don't like it or find that it doesn't do
what you need, you return it (undamaged) and at some point - which
might take months - you get your money back.  Some software
companies won't even let you try their product!  In order to qualify
for a refund, the diskette envelope must have an unbroken seal.
With these "licensing" agreements, you only qualify for your money
back if you haven't tried the product.  How absurd!

     Shareware is very different.  With Shareware, you get to try it for
a limited time, without spending a penny.  If you decide not to
continue using it, you throw it away and forget all about it.  No
paperwork, phone calls, or correspondence to waste your valuable
time.

     Software authors who use the Shareware method of distribution feel
that Shareware is the best way to try a product.  You are able to
try it on your own system(s), in your own special work environment,
with no sales people looking over your shoulder. Have you ever
purchased a car and realized that if you could have test driven it
for 30 days your purchase decision might have been different?  With
Shareware, these problems can be avoided - you do have a 30 day
test-drive!

     After trying a Shareware product and deciding to continue to use
it, then - and only then - do you pay for it.  Not only that, but
Shareware is traditionally much less expensive simply because you
are paying for the software, not the advertising and marketing that
comprises the majority of the cost of most software (a one-page ad
in PC Magazine, one time, can cost upwards of $20,000).  If the
try-before-you-buy concept sounds like an ideal way to make your
purchase decisions, you're right!

     Some companies burden their products with annoying copy protection
schemes because they don't trust their users. Shareware developers
not only don't use copy protection, they freely distribute their
products because they trust their users.

     Someone once said that you should never trust software which
doesn't trust you. This makes a lot of sense - no wonder Shareware
is becoming so popular among users and developers.

     Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.
Shareware is produced by accomplished programmers, just like retail
software.  There is good and bad Shareware, just as there is good
and bad retail software.  The primary difference between Shareware
and retail software is that with Shareware you know if it's good or
bad before you pay for it.  Registration of Shareware products, in
addition to being required, is also an incentive for programmers to
continue to produce quality software for the Shareware market.

     There is another significant advantage to Shareware - it allows
small companies to make software available without the hundreds
of thousands of dollars in expenses that it takes to
launch a traditional retail software product. There are many
programs on the market today which would never have become
available without the Shareware marketing method.  Please show your
support for Shareware by registering those programs you actually
use and by passing them on to others.

                       Thank you for your support!


Clock features

  A great feature is the ability of MoonIcon to be an analog clock, or
a clock with hour and minute "hands".  You can control the size, shape, and color of
the hands as well as the clock face.  Markers for the hour positions can also be
set any way you prefer.

     Use the Clock options selection from MoonIcon's system menu to bring
up the Clock Options dialog box.  Note how the various settings are disabled
(grayed-out) and enabled based on the selections you choose.

  MoonIcon defaults to not showing the clock at all.  To use it, you first need
to check either the Only show the clock or the Show clock on top of icon radio
button.  I recommend 'Showing the clock on top of the icon' so you can see the phase
and the time at once.

     You can change the color of the hands by using the Hand Colors|Minute and Hour
list boxes.  Next, the Hand Style check box lets you select whether you wish
to have the hands partially "filled" with the hand color.  NOTE: This is only used when
the hand "width" is more than zero; see below for more details.  The check box beneath
called Face Size controls the size of the clock face.  When checked, the clock face
will be drawn to encompass the hour markers and is slightly larger than the size of
the Moon icon.  Un-check this box to have the face hidden when the icon is displayed.

  The size and shape of the hands can be changed by using the Hand Size box.
This box is organized into two rows of fields; the first row is for the hour hand and
the second is for the minute hand.  The Width fields in each row control the
width of the hand on either side of the clock's center point.  For the smallest hand
possible, enter 0 in this field.  This will create a hand that is only 1 pixel
wide.  For more stylish hands, however, try values such as 1, 2 or 4.  These give the
hands "width" and create a triangular shape.  Try different values until you find a width
that looks good to you.

     Next, the Length fields control the length, in pixels, of the hour and
minute hands starting from the clock's center point and moving outward to the tip.
Normally, the default values are appropriate, but feel free to change them.  Finally,
the Back fields specify the length of the part of the hand that extends behind
the clock's center point.  A value of 0 means to have no back portion of the hand,
but a much more interesting value is, say, 4.

  In addition, you can also tell MoonIcon to draw markers at the
12 "hour points" along the clock face's edge.  Click the None button to hide
the markers, select the 3-hour button to show only the 12-, 3-, 6-, and 9-hour
markers, or choose All to show all twelve.  Also, don't forget to try the two marker
color list boxes to change the color of each type of marker!

  Finally, the Face Color list box allows you to change the color of the clock's
face.  Be sure to try many different combinations of background colors, face colors,
hand colors, and hand sizes and shapes.  There is no "correct" combination of MoonIcon
options; use your imagination and keep trying new ones!  One of my personal favorites
is setting transparent background and face colors, so the only part of the clock that is
visible are the hands and (maybe) the markers...
