RR_Germany Jim Butterfield & Günter Kirrbach
A German version of RoadRoute, the latest English version
of which is on disk 504). Documentation and program
prompts are in German.
Günter has produced data files containing 2641 cities (towns,
hamlets, etc.) with 5555 connecting roads! Locations are
almost all within Germany, plus a few border cities.
The huge amount of data calls for a 1M Amiga.
If you are English-speaking, you will probably be able to
fake your way through the prompts, especially if you have
used an English language version of RoadRoute. But you may be
thrown by city names: for example, the city we call Munich
is named München in Germany.
About those two dots over letters (as in Günter, Köln, or
München). You don't need a German keyboard. Just tap
key combination ALT-K before the desired vowel, and you'll
get the "umlauts".
I have made one small adjustment to Günter's program. He
opens a CON: window of size 640/240 .. that works fine on a
PAL system, but not on NTSC, which is what we have in North
America. So I've trimmed this to 640/200.
If you run RoadRoute in CLI, do not prefix the program name
with RUN. I'm still annoyed that I haven't found a simple
way to allow this and also support general redirection.
Enjoy your walk in the Black Forest .. or wherever.
