- For Version 2.1 quick Windows installation without reading MOONPO.DOC:
-
- If you do not have a diskette containing the individual (un-zipped)
- files, then you must first "unzip" the MOONPOxxx.ZIP archive. Doing
- that requires that you have a copy of PKWare's PKUNZIP utility. If
- you do not have access to UNZIP.EXE, it can be found on most bulletin
- boards.
-
- Please note: Execution of MOONPO requires that the computer be
- equipped with at least and 80286 cpu and an 80x87 math coprocessor
- or equivalent (80486 for example).
-
- Sample MOONPO Installation Procedure
-
- This example assumes the following:
- A) Your base Windows directory is C:\WINDOWS.
- B) You will place MYLOCALE.INI, GSW.EXE and GSWDLL.DLL
- in C:\WINDOWS, and all other files in a new directory called
- MOONPO on drive D:.
- C) The (de-archived) MOONPO files are on a diskette in diskette
- drive B:
- D) The installation will be done from DOS or a DOS Window, and that
- your DOS "prompt" appears as C:\>
-
- Note: in the following example the term <CR> means that you press the
- "RETURN" or "ENTER" key.
-
- 1) Create the MOONPO directory:
-
- C:\> MKDIR D:\MOONPO <CR>
-
- 2) Copy files:
-
- C:\> Copy B:\MYLOCALE.INI C:\WINDOWS <CR>
- C:\> Copy B:\GSW*.* C:\WINDOWS <CR>
-
- C:\> Copy B:\MOONPO.EXE D:\MOONPO <CR>
- C:\> Copy B:\MOONPO.BMP D:\MOONPO <CR>
- C:\> Copy B:\MOONPO.HLP D:\MOONPO <CR>
- C:\> Copy B:\MOONPO.DOC D:\MOONPO <CR>
- C:\> Copy B:\ILUM93.DTA D:\MOONPO <CR>
- C:\> Copy B:\READTHIS.NOW D:\MOONPO <CR>
-
- 3) Running or Preparing to Run MOONPO:
-
- METHOD 1: a) Click on the Program Manager's "File" option and
- select "Run".
- b) Enter D:\MOONPO\MOONPO.EXE and <CR>.
-
- METHOD 2: (add MOONPO to an existing group of applications)
- a) Click on (or TAB to) the title bar of the desired
- group.
- b) Select the Program Manager's "File" option, and then
- "New".
- c) Select "Program Item".
- d) i) For the "Description" enter: MOONPO
- ii) For the "Command Line" enter:
- D:\MOONPO\MOONPO.EXE
- iii) For "Working directory" enter: D:\MOONPO
- iv) Select "OK".
-
- If all is well, then the MOONPO icon will appear in the program
- group box and you can start MOONPO by clicking on that icon.
-
- If all is NOT well, be sure that MOONPO.EXE is actually where
- you said it was. If it is, and it still will not run, pray for
- help from a friend. If GSW.EXE or GSWDLL.DLL can't be found, it
- probably means that they (for some obscure reason) were not found
- in any directory listed in your AUTOEXEC.BAT's PATH=... statement.
-
-
- Before running MOONPO, you will probably want to customize it for
- your geographical location. There are two ways to do that:
-
- 1) Edit the MYLOCALE.INI file to reflect your longitude, latitude and
- time zone before starting the MOONPO application.
-
- 2) Simply go ahead and run MOONPO and enter your location and time
- zone via the "Observer Position" option under the "Control"
- menu item found on the main MOONPO menu bar. Once you select
- "OK" you will be asked if you wish to save the new data in the
- MYLOCALE.INI file. Choosing "Yes" will save the customized
- MYLOCALE.INI file.
-
- Consult "Help" on the main MOONPO menu bar for other brief hints.
-
- It MAY BE wise to read the MOONPO.DOC file, however. It contains
- additional information.
-
-
- If you will NEVER want to examine MOONPO's graphs, you can omit
- copying of the "GSW..." files (or delete them later).
