- DISTRIBUTION:
-
- This software package is freely distributable. The current version is for

- the files SATELLIT.DOC (German) and SATELLIT.ENG (English).

-
- HOW TO GET STARTED?
- --------------------
-
- First of all have a look at the file SATELLIT.INI. All changes you have to
- do in this file.
-
- 1. Change the location
- - put in your grid square are your longitude and latitude (if there is
- a grid square all other data are ignored)
-
- 2. Adjust the time
- - make sure that the programm displays UTC!!!
-
- 3. Choose language
- - ENGLISH = 1; ==> the output is English, otherwise German
-
- 4. If your are in US. you might like to see miles instead of kilometres...
-
- 5. If your system has a 387-coprocessor or higher choose the corresponding
- value. It increases computation speed because it uses the build-in sin,
- cos,... functions.
-
- 6. Read the doc-file 'satellit.eng' or 'satellit.doc' respectively.
-
- IMPORTANT:
-
- Make sure that your element-sets are up to date. NASA-format should be prefered
- due to the element-update feature but AMSAT-format works as well. It is not
- necessary to delete any stuff in the input files.
-
- Not all features are documented in the short doc-file. If you feel that
- something should work try it out, maybe it works.
-
-
- Have a lot of fun!!!
