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. An
EGA, VGA, or better graphics adapter and a hard disk are required.
GEOCLK45.LZH (or ZIP) contains the program files required to run
GeoClock. GEOCLK1A.LZH (or ZIP) contains the map files. Both files are
required, unless you have map files (MAP*.EGA) from a prior version of
GeoClock. You should run SETUPGEO as soon as you unarchive the program.
Then, 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
bypasses the open help screen, and includes the zoom, distance measuring,
and city time display functions, and at least 25 maps.
Version 4.5 of GEOCLOCK includes the following major features that were not
in version 4.4:
1. A set-up program (SETUPGEO) to simplify the customization of GeoClock to
your location and time zone has been added.
2. Maps reflect the latest (92/08/10) changes in the former USSR and former
Yugoslavia.
3. A "screen saver" script has been added. This script changes to a randomly
selected map every 60 seconds. To activate this function, press "9" while
GeoClock is running, or enter from the DOS command line GEOCLK SCRIPT9
