- I. GETTING STARTED
-
- If you are reading this file you have already unzipped at least
- one SUNPO file. If you havent unzipped them all, then do so before
- proceding. The most straight forward startup process is to place ALL
- of the SUNPO files in the same directory or on the same diskette.
-
- Please note: Execution of SUNPO requires that the computer be
- equipped with at least and 80286 cpu and an 80x87 math coprocessor
- or equivalent (80486 for example).
-
- II. RUNNING SUNPO
-
- If you put all the SUNPO files on a single diskette or in the same
- directory, then you can start SUNPO using the Windows File Manager.
- Call up the File option from the file manager's menu bar and choose
- Run. Then fill in YOUR path name to SUNPO132.EXE (A:\SUNPO132.EXE or
- D:\SUNPO\SUNPO132.EXE for example) and select OK or press the ENTER
- key on the keyboard. Look at the STARTUP item under the Help
- command on the SUNPO menu bar for brief instructions on starting
- an actual SUNPO calculation.
-
- III. RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION
-
- While some components of SUNPO can be placed in different directories,
- the simplest thing to do is to put all of the files in a single SUNPO
- directory. That makes removal simple.
-
-
- Sample SUNPO Installation Procedure
-
- This example assumes the following:
-
- A) Your base Windows directory is C:\WINDOWS.
- B) You will place all SUNPO files (EXCEPT SUNPO.INI, which MUST
- be in your base Windows directory) in a NEW directory on fixed
- drive D:
- C) The (de-archived) SUNPO files are on a diskette in diskette
- drive B:, and there are no other files on that diskette.
- D) The installation will be done from DOS or a DOS Window, and that
- your DOS "prompt" appears as C:\>
-
- Note: in the following example the term <CR> means that you press the
- "RETURN" or "ENTER" key.
-
- 1) Create the SUNPO directory:
-
- C:\> MKDIR D:\SUNPO <CR>
-
- 2) Copy files:
-
- C:\> Copy B:\SUNPO.INI C:\WINDOWS
- C:\> Copy B:\*.* D:\SUNPO
-
- 3) Running or Preparing to Run SUNPO:
-
- METHOD 1: a) Click on the Program Manager's "File" option and
- select "Run".
- b) Enter D:\SUNPO\SUNPO132.EXE and <CR>.
-
- METHOD 2: (add SUNPO to an existing group of applications)
- a) Click on (or TAB to) the title bar of the desired
- group.
- b) Select the Program Manager's "File" option, and then
- "New".
- c) Select "Program Item".
- d) i) For the "Description" enter: SUNPO
- ii) For the "Command Line" enter:
- D:\SUNPO\SUNPO132.EXE
- iii) For "Working directory" enter: D:\SUNPO
- iv) Select "OK".
-
- If all is well, then the SUNPO icon will appear in the program
- group box and you can start SUNPO by clicking on that icon.
-
- Before running SUNPO, you will probably want to customize it for
- your geographical location. There are two ways to do that:
-
- 1) Edit the SUNPO.INI file to reflect your longitude, latitude and
- time zone before starting the SUNPO application.
-
- 2) Simply go ahead and run SUNPO and enter your location and time
- zone via the "Observer Position" option under the "Control"
- menu item found on the main SUNPO menu bar. Once you select
- "OK" you will be asked if you wish to save the new data in the
- SUNPO.INI file. Choosing "Yes" will save the customized
- SUNPO.INI file.
-
- Consult "Help" on the main SUNPO menu bar for other brief hints.
-
- It MAY BE wise to read the SUNPO.DOC file, however. It contains
- additional information.
-
-
- If you will NEVER want to examine SUNPO's graphs, you can omit
- copying of the "GSW..." files (or delete them later).
-
-
- If you already have a copy of GSW.EXE and GSWDLL.DLL in a directory
- named in your AUTOEXEC.BAT's PATH= statement, then you can probably
- save some diskspace by deleting GSW.EXE and GSWDLL.DLL from the
- SUNPO directory. The GSW.. files PROBABLY must belong to at least
- version 2.1, however.
-
- SUNPO is a copyrighted program. See the SUNPOxxx.DOC file for
- information regarding registration as well as information about
- the MOONPO program available from the developer of SUNPO.
