PMGlobe -- an OS/2 Presentation Manager World Globe
===================================================
Copyright (c) IBM Corporation, 1991, 1992.
Abstract
""""""""
PMGlobe is a program which displays the Earth as a globe using OS/2
Presentation Manager. You can choose to view the globe from any
direction, or select one of a number of 'standard' views.
In addition to simply displaying a picture of the world, PMGlobe will
also let you light the globe as though by sunlight -- so you can see
at a glance those areas of the globe where the sun has risen, and where
it is night. Additional options add shading to the globe for a
three-dimensional effect, and let you measure distances between
two points on the globe. Other features are described in the file
PMGLOBE.DOC.
With the command interface included with PMGlobe, you can add markers
labels, and clocks to the globe and have more control over its actions.
If you wish, you can use REXX (the scripting language included with
OS/2) as a macro language for PMGlobe -- see PMGLOBEX.DOC for a
description of the PMGlobe commands available; all of them can be used
in a REXX macro.
