2.20 6-11-90 Analytical solution bug fixed, first pass was
not being calculated under certain conditions.
2.30 6-21-90 TRAKSAT version 2.30 released, use of
overlays has reduced RAM requirements from
previous versions (approx. 100K less RAM).
Added user defined star data options. Long

2.35 7-07-90 Improved user input data error detection.
2.35 7-14-90 Corrected rev. number when changing modes.
2.35 7-18-90 Corrected azimuth for east tracking sites.
2.35 7-19-90 Could not select year in delta modes. - FIXED
2.40 7-30-90 TRAKSAT version 2.40 released, sun terminator
included in ground track. The user can define
the satellite plotting color also.
2.40 8- 2-90 Fixed delta mode year error, default year was not
stored correctly. - FIXED.
2.40 8-10-90 Improved ground track plotting for 2 - 3 rev per
day satellites.
2.45 8-12-90 TRAKSAT version 2.45 released. (24 pin printer

2.45 8-29-90 If the satellite name had a "/" character in it
an error was produced. - FIXED
2.45 9-05-90 Version number incorrect on Analytical (screen
only) output. - FIXED
2.45 9-13-90 In the ground track with sun terminator option
if a pause was entered the plot was not reset
correctly. - FIXED
2.50 10-01-90 TRAKSAT version 2.50 released. A GREAT IMPROVEMENT
IN THE USER INTERFACE IN THIS VERSION. This
version is a MAJOR overhaul! The Reverse
Solution has been removed in this version.
(Watch for a "stand alone" version soon.)
2.50 10-11-90 Changed defaults (optical vis. only). Added
ability to plot screen after simulation is
over (when in delta mode). Improved several
areas (smoothed out those rough spots).
2.50 10-22-90 Graphical print output was not centered with 24
pin printers. - FIXED
2.50 10-28-90 After pause mode in Multi-tracking the program
stayed in pause mode. - FIXED
2.55 11-01-90 TRAKSAT version 2.55 released. This version will
allow a starting date BEFORE the epoch date. The
output file TRAKSAT.OUT has been changed to
TRAKSAT.??? (??? is a increasing number 0-999).
** Remember to change to STANDARD time **

What is Next?
This section is the "dream" improvement area. Sometime in the
future these ideas MAY make it into TRAKSAT. I have always kept
an open mind when it comes to improvements especially when the
ideas come from interested users. Please take the time to express
your ideas and suggestions to improve TRAKSAT.
One of the next "improvements" should be a resume type feature OR
a save current data and the next time TRAKSAT is run the last
status will be restored.
Add ant./sensor coverage plot to the ground track.
Improve the star background plot as not to erase the screen but
just update it.
Add online help for some areas.
Add support for laser printers.
Add save screen to PCX, GIF, etc. files.
