- ########## 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 1.8.13 ##########
-
- Improvements:
- * Again a speed improvement of trigonometric calculations in the 040 version.
-
- Fixed bugs:

- of asteroids during a short time period. This only was watched only once.
- * Bumped version number of English guide.
