ASTRONOMY LAB FOR WINDOWS NT (WINDOWS 3.1 OR NT) Vol.1, No.7
Latest file 4/1/93
alw1.txt
ASTRONOMY LAB FOR WINDOWS is an extraordinary example of shareware! It
the first shareware program for Windows NT I have acquired, yet this archive
is packaged with Win32's which will allow it to run on a 386 or 486 under
Windows 3.1. ASTRONOMY LAB FOR WINDOWS is enormously deep and comprehensive
with a wealth of features that should provide a lifetime of enjoyment and
learning for any astronomy buff. This archive contains two large ZIP files
each of which should be unarchived to a separate working directory. If you
are already running Windows NT, it is not necessary to install Win32s. At
first startup go to the Location menu and fill in the dialog as all output
from ASTRONOMY LAB FOR WINDOWS is referenced to a chosen location. There are
12 Report options which includes several detailed calendars, tables of
planetary and lunar information, meteor showers, etc. There are 15 graphs
including one for Planetary Orbits and the Galilean satellites of Jupiter.
The Movie menu provides 7 animation choices including a Planetarium of the
solar system and two different views of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter in
orbit and planetary motion along the Ecliptic.
Their is no manual with ASTRONOMY LAB FOR WINDOWS but the on-line help
is superb, very deep and organized like a well designed textbook.
Registration is only $15!! plus $2.50 S/H from Personal MicroCosms, 8547 E.
Arapahoe Road, Suite J-147, Greenwood Village, CO 80112.
