Hello People!
A very big THANK YOU to all of you who have decided to upgrade to SkyGlobe 3.0.
I have decided to make it even easier for you to ensure that you always have
the latest version of SkyGlobe, if you wish. At any time, you may receive an
uncustomized copy of the latest version of SkyGlobe by sending $5 ($6 outside
North America) to KlassM Software, 284 142nd AVE, Caledonia MI 49316. You will
be able to use your current .REG file with this copy, which will keep the work
down on my end. While you will not receive a new Reference Card, the .DOC file
will reflect any changes in the new version. You will, of course, still be
notified of major new upgrades, which will always be relatively inexpensize,
be customized on the disk I send you, and contain up-to-date Reference Cards.
It is just that I have trouble balancing the needs of those of you who want
a new copy of SkyGlobe with Feature #1, Feature #2, etc., as soon as possible,
without necessarily requiring new documentation or new .REG files, and those
of you who are willing to wait a little longer. This new offer should help. If
you notify me of a significant bug or make a useful suggestion, I'll send you
back $1, and if you are the first to tell me about a particularly bad bug, I'll
send it to you for free. Now on to some last-minute enhancements!
Alt-F4 now turns on the Twilight Flag, which brightens the background when
either the Sun or Moon is in the sky. Moon phases are not yet accounted
for, I'll be adding this soon. (VGA/SVGA only.)
TAB and Shift-TAB now bump up the time to either the next sunrise or sunset,
whichever is next. Right now this uses 10-minute increments, and it
occasionally stutters once. Try this with Turbo! I'll be expanding the
intelligence of this, so you may be able to Turbo either sunrise or sunset
or maybe pick a particular planet.
Navigation star labels are now a different color than non-nav stars.
An alphabetical star menu has been added to the Find command, which is not
yet documented, but it is quite easy to use.
Thanks, I have to start making your disks!
