- GEOCLOCK (TM) 5.0, 93/03/26, (C) 1993 Joseph R Ahlgren, BBS 703-241-7980
-
- The main changes in 5.0 over 4.5 is the addition of mouse functions and
- a comprehensive set of VGA maps.
-
- The basic map set with registration consists of over 40 maps covering the
- whole earth. In addition, there are four supplemental maps sets covering
- North America, Europe, South America and Africa, and Middle East / Asia /
- Pacific, in great detail. Over 200 maps are available. All the maps have
- the latest changes, including the division of the former Czechoslovakia.
-
- A greatly improved setup program is included, customizes GeoClock for both
- your location (by picking from a list of over 3400 cities) and your
- hardware.
-
- The new mouse functions are:
-
- 1. A function icon bar is displayed on the screen. The icon bar can be
- toggled on and off by pressing the ALT key, or by moving the cursor off
- screen.
-
- 2. Pressing the left mouse button anywhere on the screen (other than the
- icon bar) zooms down to the most detailed map containing that point.
-
- 3. Pressing the right mouse button, or clicking on the zoom-up icon, zooms
- up to the next highest map.
-
- 4. Time set and rate of time passage can be activated from the icon bar.
-
- 5. The icon bar version of distance uses two points rather than three.
-
- 6. The grid icon toggles on and off the display of automatic lat/long lines.
-
- 7. Help can be activated from the icon bar.
-
- 8. The reset icon resets time and time rate.
-
- 9. ESC no longer quits - Q or the icon must be used.
-
- 10. The Country/City icon toggles between city and country display (at least
- by convention).
