Disk No  1103
Program Title: SILICON SKY
PC-SIG version 1

    SILICON SKY is a planisphere that lets you study the night sky as it
appears in any region of the world, looking in any direction, and as it
appeared on any date you select. It offers two viewing options, Stars+Solar
System Objects and Planetarium. There's even an optional cricket sounds
accompaniment!

    The program paints the stars on the screen for most horizons. Then two
menus are available that lets you request that solar system objects and
constellations be highlighted. Specific planets and the moon are circled,
and constellations are drawn in with dotted lines upon request.

Usage: Astrological

System Requirements: 128K memory , one floppy disk drive, and color
graphics (will also support an 8087 chip).

How to Start: The program must first be initialized. This is done on
computers with 8087 math coprocessors by typing INIT87 (press enter). On
computers without math coprocessors, simply type INIT (press enter). A
series of questions must be answered to complete initialization. After
that, simply type GO87 if you have an 8087 chip, or GO if not.

Suggested Registration: $10.00 -- Registration fee brings the next
upgrade. The present version displays 35 constellations. Adkins promises
all 88 by the next version, along with coordinates, deep sky objects,
boundaries of the Milky Way, and a more detailed manual.
