HourWorldェ 2.03 Read Me
June 2, 1998
What is HourWorldェ?
HourWorldェ is about time, here, there, and around the world.
HourWorldェ is about almanacs and planning.
HourWorldェ is about lighting from the sun and the moon.
HourWorldェ is about telephone calls at appropriate times.
HourWorldェ is about beauty and curiosity.
HourWorldェ is a unique software program that doesn't really fit into any previous category,
as you'll see for yourself. Started in 1994 as the WorldClock Desk Accessory, rapidly increasing
Macintosh speeds have enabled a variety of enhancements and new features not practicable until
recently. We welcome your support of this ongoing project via two registration options.
What Have I Downloaded?
The accompanying software contains all the code and graphics of the full version of HourWorldェ,
but not all features are enabled without registration. As downloaded without registration, the program
runs as HourWorldェ Lite. It works in any Power Macintosh, and is intended to meet the needs of
casual users located in or near major cities in the U.S. HourWorldェ Lite presents a small world map
with sun and moon in a moving pattern of day, twilight, and night. Daylight blends into twilight and
darkness with geometric accuracy. A variety of screens show times around the world, sunrise and
sunset times,□sun and moon calendars past and future, and even a sundial. Configuring
HourWorldェ Lite is easy. Simply click on one of the clocks, scroll through the list to your city or
the nearest city, and make it your home location. The HourWorldェ Lite software also contains
demonstration features of the full HourWorldェ program.
What Are The Benefits To Registering?
There are three operational modes of the HourWorldェ software application distributed with
this read-me file. Registration enables additional features you may wish to use.
1) The Unregistered Lite mode (as downloaded) is for evaluation purposes only. The program
starts up with an "Agree" screen. You must agree to the conditions and accept the disclaimers to
use the software. The program provides a set of displays and functions that will meet the needs
and interests of many people just as it is, without upgrading. Clicking the size box in the upper
right corner of the screen gives demonstration views of the full program.
Five additional functions of the full HourWorldェ program are included in the software, but are
not available without registering. They are: Almanac Printing, Large Display Option, Phone Call
Coordinator, Global Positioning System (GPS), and Database Editing.
2) The Registered Lite mode (registration fee: $15.00). If you have evaluated HourWorldェ Lite
favorably, and wish to continue using it, but do not need the five additional features in the full
version of HourWorldェ, registering HourWorldェ Lite will remove the startup "Agree" screen.
You'll be in our database, and eligible to upgrade later to the full version of HourWorldェ for an
additional $15.00. You will also gain access to the registered user portion of our web site, and be
able to download upgrades when they become available.
3) The Full HourWorldェ program (registration fee: $29.95) adds the following additional
features not available in either version of HourWorldェ Lite: 1) Large display option which fills a
standard 640 x 480 display, with 7 clocks instead of 5. 2) Almanac printing for any location and
date, by month or year. 3) Phone Call Coordinator screen for planning phone calls or other
events across multiple time zones. 4) GPS functions and compatibility through GPSyェ from
Global Mapping Systems 5) An editable database. You can add or remove locations, or edit
information about locations. You will gain access to the registered user portion of our web site,
where the latest versions and documentation will be available for download.
What If I Don't Have a Power Macintosh?
HourWorldェ does an incredible amount of floating-point calculation in order to produce the
twilight displays, and requires the power and speed of a PowerPC processor to do it in a reasonable
time. Our earlier product, WorldClock, does much of what HourWorldェ does, and works in
earlier 68020+ Macs.
We are working on HourWorldェ for the Windows environment, but it is not available at this date.
Watch our web site for details.
Compatibility Note:
Testing shows that HourWorldェ is now compatible with the DoubleScroll shareware control
panel Version 2.2 Preview 6. There is an incompatibility with earlier versions of DoubleScroll.
If using DoubleScroll with HourWorldェ, please upgrade to DS version 2.2 Preview 6 or later.
