DISTRIBUTION:
This software package is freely distributable. The current version is for
evaluation purposes only. It can be copied and distributed in any possible
way. It is not allowed to change this file or the short documentation in
the files SATELLIT.DOC (German) and SATELLIT.ENG (English).
HOW TO GET STARTED?
--------------------
First of all have a look at the file SATELLIT.INI. All changes you have to
do in this file.
1. Change the location
- put in your grid square are your longitude and latitude (if there is
a grid square all other data are ignored)
2. Adjust the time
- make sure that the programm displays UTC!!!
3. Choose language
- ENGLISH = 1; ==> the output is English, otherwise German
4. If your are in US. you might like to see miles instead of kilometres...
5. If your system has a 387-coprocessor or higher choose the corresponding
value. It increases computation speed because it uses the build-in sin,
cos,... functions.
6. Read the doc-file 'satellit.eng' or 'satellit.doc' respectively.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that your element-sets are up to date. NASA-format should be prefered
due to the element-update feature but AMSAT-format works as well. It is not
necessary to delete any stuff in the input files.
Not all features are documented in the short doc-file. If you feel that
something should work try it out, maybe it works.
Have a lot of fun!!!
