- TERMINATOR reads this file when it is first executed and loaded into memory.
-
- Only information enclosed in < and > brackets is read and used. All other
- information is ignored. Information outside < and > brackets is either
- explanation, or inactive choices. These may be activated by enclosing them
- in < and > brackets.
-
- This file may be edited with any editor or word processor that can handle a
- standard text file containing only ASCII characters, without inserting any of
- its own formatting or control codes. Be careful to use the same format,

- <DST ENDS 10 30 88>
- <DST ENDS 10 29 89>
-
- <EST BEGINS 3 29 87> Last Sunday in March
- <EST BEGINS 3 27 88>

- -------------Reverse Video--------------------(choose one)--------------------
- Ordinary displays show light characters on a dark background. The LCD
- displays used with certain laptop computers reverse this, and show dark
- characters on a light background. This reversal may cause TERMINATOR to
- display night with a light background and day with a dark background.
- Selecting the REVERSE ON parameter, below, corrects this.
-
- REVERSE ON for light background displays
- <REVERSE OFF> for dark background displays
-
- -------------Time Zones--------(choose up to 24 zones, cities, and areas)-----
- Time zone labels can be placed anywhere on the map, though they should be
- placed where they won't obscure other labels or important geographic features.
- They have the format: ZONE name latitide longitude time, where time may be a
- time zone name (as in Local Times) or hours (and minutes) behind GMT.

- -------------Cities------------(choose up to 24 cities, zones, and areas)-----
- City labels can be placed anywhere on the map, though they should be
- placed where they won't obscure other labels or important geographic features.
- They have the format: CITY name latitide longitude time, where time may be a
- time zone name (as in Local Times) or hours (and minutes) behind GMT.
-
- Cities may be located to the nearest half degree of latitude and longitude.
- If the city name contains the ^ character, the ^ is displayed as a small box
- and is placed at the specified latitude and longitude, so city names can be
- positioned either to the right or left of the box.
