- BCAST SOFTWARE REVISION LOG
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- REVISION 1.01 (19 Feb 1992):
-
- - Registration fee for BCAST software increased from $28.00 dollars to
- $35.00 dollars (in Canadian or U.S. funds) in order to compensate for
- the new software and features which are now available.
-
- - Fixed minor bug which occurred when attempting to batch process
- non-existant files.
-
- - Fixed minor leap-year bug which would have occurred when attempting
- to process the dataset for December 31, 1992.
-
- - Installed a new Graphical Geomagnetic Data Processor program to the
- BCAST software package to permit high-quality VGA graphical
- 3-dimensional graphs of K-index data, as well as full-screen
- high-density graphs of K-index data spanning as much as eight solar
- rotations (216 days or 1,728 points). Fully self-contained program.
-
- - Completely rewrote the "Process Data Set" section of the main menu of
- BCAST to provide powerful dynamic file-selection/processing features.
-
- - Enhanced the menu selection procedure to permit fast single-keystroke
- operation within the menus.
-
- - Tweaked appearance of menus and added on-screen version information.
-
- - Added PAGEUP, PAGEDOWN, HOME, and END keyboard support functions while
- viewing graphical charts to permit dynamic movement and analysis
- within the database.
-
- - Modified the "Delete Dataset" function to permit the deletion of
- datasets containing illegal dates. May be useful to help repair
- corrupt datasets within the database.
-
- - Added support for an external configuration file, to permit minor
- customization of the BCAST software and a base structure for future
- customization features.
-
- - Added support for the environment variable "BCAST". Specifically, if
- the variable BCAST is set to the directory path of the BCAST software,
- you may execute and operate BCAST from any directory on your system.
-
- - Optimized program code to help reduce executable program size. All of
- the above features have been added while reducing the overall program
- size by over 5K bytes.
