-
- ########## Troubleshooting ##########
-
- If you have installed Digital Almanac correctly and your computer crashes without
- any visible reason, please check the following statements:
-
- * I run a MC68040 and I have installed the original 68040.library from Commodore.
- * I run a MC68060 and I have installed the latest 68060.library.
- * I have installed the original math-libs from Commodore, i.e
- I do not use any replacement libs or patches concerning these math-libs.
-
- If you negate any of these statements, you may find Digital Almanac not
- to work on your Amiga !!
- Please read the chapter "Troubleshooting" in the docs !
-
-
- ########## Changes since Digital Almanac II 1.7.6 ##########
-
- Improvements:
- * Improved mouse zoom. Better handling of double-click and single-click.
- * F2 key in the main window shows astronomic coordinates of the mouse pointer.
-
- Fixed bugs;
- * Pictures weren't loaded within the program. This was still a bug from the compiler change.
- * Fixed a bug in CD-Edition. Installation assumes "Installer" in your path instead on the CD.
