- What's The Difference Between HourWorld™ XGA
- and HourWorld™ VGA? (version 2.31)
- March 6, 1999
-
-
- What's the difference?
- The size of the HourWorld™ map.
- The size of the HourWorld™ display window,
- The size of the monitor or display required to run the software.
-
- The HourWorld™ XGA display offers larger sizes that we haven't offered before. Not
- everyone has a monitor or display large enough to use it, but many do.
-
- The HourWorld™ VGA software provides the same size display size as our earlier full
- versions of HourWorld™ and WorldClock.
-
- The HourWorld™ distribution file available from www.hourworld.com and other websites
- contains a map image measuring 960 x 480 pixels. This is the complete image required for
- both XGA and VGA options, so additional downloads are not required. The program
- uses the same preferences format as earlier HourWorld 2.10+ distributions, so users of
- HourWorld™ 2.10 or later should not find it necessary to re-register or to get a new registration
- key in order to use the software.
-
- If you are a new downloader, and haven't registered HourWorld™ before, your copy will
- operate as HourWorld™ Lite, limited to a small display size, until registered. You may
- register it as HourWorld VGA or HourWorld SVGA. The software will adjust itself to the
- size registered.
-
- About HourWorld™ XGA, with our Largest Display Sizes:
- • A registration fee of $35 is asked from new customers. It is considered a product upgrade,
- with a $10.00 registration fee asked from previous HourWorld™ or WorldClock customers
- for activation of the XGA option. Registered users of previous versions of HourWorld™
- need to get a new key to activate the XGA displays.
-
- • The program will operate in either XGA or VGA modes. There is a menu item on the
- Preferences Dialog to select the display size.
-
- • It will work in VGA mode (medium size) on a monitor smaller than 800 x 600, but in order
- to use the larger display sizes, a monitor or display of 800 x 600 pixels or larger is required.
- A monitor with 1024x768 pixel resolution is needed to display the largest size in HourWorld
- XGA.
-
- About HourWorld™ VGA, our Medium Display Size:
- • A registration fee of $30 is asked from new customers. Previous HourWorld™ customers
- may upgrade FREE. New registration keys are not normally required for registered users of
- HourWorld™ 2.0 or later - the old key should work. Previous WorldClock customers are
- asked for an upgrade fee of $10.
-
- • If you acquire a larger monitor or display later, you my upgrade to the XGA sizes for $10.
