You now have the easiest to use, least expensive, satellite tracking package
available in shareware. The capabilities provided by PC-TRACK were previously
limited to programs which were hard to use, expensive, and designed for mini-
computers or more expensive 80286 and 80386 based personal computers. Now you
can graphically track your favorite terrestrial satellites with ease,
accuracy, and money left in your pocket.
Once you decide to use PC-TRACK please register your copy of it by sending
just $15.00 to:
Thomas C. Johnson
9920 S. Palmer Rd.
New Carlisle, Oh. 45344
If you need an invoice for this purpose, one is included at the end of this
file.
With your registration, you will receive notification of any new versions of
PC-TRACK. As a registered user, you will also receive a 30% discount on the
registration fee on the next version you register.

Before running PC-TRACK , I highly recommend making a working copy of the
disk and put your original away in a safe place. Once that is done, getting
PC-TRACK going is simple... just type:
PCT <RETURN>.
If you are using a floppy drive to run PC-TRACK , please be patient while
the program gets loaded and initialized.
To print out the PC-TRACK Manual, use your favorite word processor to format
and print the manual. It is a plain ASCII file with no formatting codes in
it. Again, remember to work on a copy of the file, not the original.
Since, the satellite data included on this disk is dated information, it will
need to be updated as soon as possible and as often as possible. This
information may be obtained free of charge from:
PROJECT OPERATIONS BRANCH (CODE 513)
NASA/GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER
GREENBELT, MARYLAND 20771
Ask for NASA Prediction Bulletins for the satellites in the OBJECTS FILE you
desire to have updated. Reference them by the Catalog number. You will find
that the satellites in the file are either Amateur Radio satellites or weather
satellites. You may request data for all of them just by requesting Nasa
Prediction Bulletins for all Amateur Radio and weather satellites.
