- GeoClock shows the current time (based on your computer's clock) with
- a high quality map of the earth. The current sun position is displayed,
- and the parts of the earth in sunlight and twilight are highlighted. This
- display is automatically updated every few seconds. Local sunrise, sunset,
- the sun's azimuth and elevation, and times around the world are also
- displayed. A variety of map backgrounds and other options are available. An
- EGA, VGA, or better graphics adapter and a hard disk are required.
- GEOCLK45.LZH (or ZIP) contains the program files required to run
- GeoClock. GEOCLK1A.LZH (or ZIP) contains the map files. Both files are
- required, unless you have map files (MAP*.EGA) from a prior version of
- GeoClock. You should run SETUPGEO as soon as you unarchive the program.
- Then, enter GEOCLK HELP to start the program and access the on-line
- documentation and help system.
- GeoClock is distributed as shareware. This means that if you use and
- enjoy the program, you are expected to register it. The registered version
- bypasses the open help screen, and includes the zoom, distance measuring,
- and city time display functions, and at least 25 maps.

- Version 4.5 of GEOCLOCK includes the following major features that were not

- 2. Maps reflect the latest (92/08/10) changes in the former USSR and former
- Yugoslavia.
- 3. A "screen saver" script has been added. This script changes to a randomly
- selected map every 60 seconds. To activate this function, press "9" while
