- GEOCLOCK shows the current time (based on your computer's clock) with
- a high quality map of the earth. The current sun position is displayed,
- and the parts of the earth in sunlight and twilight are highlighted. This
- display is automatically updated every few seconds. Local sunrise, sunset,
- the sun's azimuth and elevation, and times around the world are also
- displayed. A variety of map backgrounds and other options are available. A
- graphics adapter and a hard disk are required.
- GEOCLK44.LZH (or ZIP) contains all the files required to run the
- EGA-VGA-SVGA version of the program. Enter GEOCLK HELP to start the
- program and access the on-line documentation and help system.
- GEOCLOCK is distributed as shareware. This means that if you use and
- enjoy the program, you are expected to register it. The registered version
- includes the zoom, distance measuring, and city time display functions, and
- at least 25 maps.
-
- Version 4.4 of GEOCLOCK includes the following features that were not
- in version 4.3:
-
- 1. Support for Orthographic projection (view from space)
- 2. Addition of Sun rise/set, Sun Az/El, and Sun position information on
- Equidistance-Azimuthal and Orthographic maps, even when the HAM functions
- are being used.
- 3. Improved startup and mouse function speed for people using Microsoft
- MOUSE software version 7 or higher.
- 4. SET GEOCLOCK=<path> can be used to set up default drive and directory
- for GEOCLOCK maps and data files. Using this, it is not necessary to
- make the GEOCLOCK directory the default before running the program.
