GRedSpot 3.6 - February 18th, 1994
----------------------------------
What is GRedSpot?
----------------
GRedSpot is a MicroSoft Windows 3.x program that displays the current
position of the Great Red Spot on the planet Jupiter, and the four Galilean
moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto in an icon. You can set the icon to
display the moons above or below a half-icon of Jupiter, just show the moons
or just display the full Jupiter icon. You can specify the icon's title to
display the current longitude of the Spot, a list of today's transit times,
and the time remaining until the next transit. If you wish, you can also
configure the title to just be a clock, displaying the current time and/or
date.
Installing GRedSpot
-------------------
Simply use the Program Manager to create a New Program Icon in the group of
your choice and set the "Working Directory" to the subdirectory where you
installed the files. You may place the GREDSPOT.EXE file in the subdirectory
of your choice, but GRedSpot *must* be able to find it's GREDSPOT.INI file.
If it is cannot, then the About box will be displayed each and every time you
start the program. If you have trouble, you may set the "Working Directory"
to your Windows subdirectory explicitly, or just leave it blank to have it
default to your Windows subdirectory. Just make SURE that Windows can find
your GREDSPOT.INI file. See the section "Troubleshooting" in the on-line help
system for more information.
I also recommend placing the Program Icon in the "Startup" group so it loads
every time you start Windows.
If you don't already have the file BWCC.DLL, make sure you copy it to your
Windows system subdirectory and erase any other older copies of it. See the
file BWCC.TXT for more information.
