- 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.
