Intended Upgrades
=================
Here is a list of some of the things I intend to do to !Spotter in the
future.
Bug Fixes:
None known in current release. It is known that this application does not run well in
conjunction with other applications that fiddle with the internal clock (such as !Technique).
I will try and do something about this, but I cannot see an easy way around it at the
moment.
New Features:
1. Enable manual editing of satellite elements from the !FrontEnd applications, so that
the edited elements can be saved in case NORAD format elements are not available.
3. Implement other solar system bodies, so that this application can be used
for finding (for example) planets and asteroids. Low priority, this one.
4. Implement 'World View' display option, showing the satellite position
projected onto a map of the Earth.
5. Implementation of cut-off elevation option in WIMPY generation. I am not
sure if this would be useful, so I may decide not to do this.
6. Find some way of reducing the flicker when the display update frequency
is high. Need to think about this one.
7. Enable the memory claimed for plot generation to be returned to the Wimp.
Currently, when a plot is generated, about 100k of memory is claimed by the
App, but it does not release it when it is no longer needed. So far my
attempts with DeskLib's 'Mem' functions have not been too successful.
As you can see, there are still plenty of things I want to do to this
program, but if you have any other suggestions, or would like to attach some
priorities to the list above, then I would be very pleased to hear from you.
Addresses for correspondence are given in the !Help file.
