- Program Info
- for WORLD V2.0
-
- System requirements:Graphics board and room to run a 100k program.
-
- This program was written in BASICA and compiled Microsoft QUICK Basic
- ver 2.00 under dos 3.1 as an exercise in what can be done with BASIC.
-
- It was written on a IBM PC-XT with 10meg hard disk, 640k memory, and
- EGA. It has been tested on a Columbia MPC-IV.
-
- I guarantee nothing!! This project was started many months ago to see
- what could be done in BASIC (the only language I know much about). I soon
- found that basic is just too slow to handle the data required.
-
- The list of capitals is as accurate as I can get from a standard atlas.
- Some minor errors have been generated by eyeball interpolation and
- weariness. I feel no obligation to make corrections or additions. If
- you don't like something don't send money or stew about it, send me
- a letter of complaint!! I may or may not fix it (depends upon how I
- feel ! I probably won't even respond !)
-
- If I feel good and get some complaints I can handle I may put an update
- on COMPUSERVE at some time in the future.
-
- Obviously there is more information in 'traks' than this program requires.
- I also use this data file in other programs. To start a new year's
- 'traks' simply rename traks to traksyy where yy is the year.

- I would like to thank those who did send comments (and especially those
- who sent money) based on WORLD. Many of the changes are a result of
- suggestions from users. Some suggestions (such as adding color) were not
- practical for the majority of IBM computers. My Data Base is too crude.
-
- No the Data points were not generated by THE FORCE I strained my eyeballs
- to create it. It is available as a seperate file and not available for
- commercial use.
