Bywater Software
Release Notice
Space Flight Simulator MAP Utility
version 1.01
(PC-Compatible Binaries)
------------------
Bywater Software is pleased to announce the public availability
of its Space Flight Simulator in its first complete release,
version 1.01. This software is copyright (c) 1991, Ted A.
Campbell, and is released under the terms of an agreement specified
in the file "sfs.ro".
Description: The map utility (source code and binaries are distributed
separately from the PC version of the SFS software) allows
users to enter spherical projection data points by pointing
and clicking the mouse device within a latitude-longitude
grid.
Requirements: This implementation of the Space Flight Simulator
MAP utility requires an IBM PC or compatible
microcomputer, with Hercules, EGA, or VGA graphics.
The optional use of a pointer device (mouse) is
supported. A fast cpu and a math coprocessor will
also speed up and smooth out the overall display.
The program requires one disk drive that has at
least 700k of space available.
Documentation: Complete documentation for the MAP utility is in
Chapter 6 of the file "sfs.ro", which is in a format
compatible with the "ro" text formatter (supplied with
the PC-compatible binaries for SFS).
Source Code: This release of the Space Flight Simulator will
include source code for the complete Space Flight
Simulator, the MAP utility, and their underlying User
Interface (ui). The source code can be compiled on the
PC-compatible microcomputers, the AT&T Unix PC, and on
Unix Platforms which have implemented the X Windows
system, version 11 (tested on DecStation 2100 and
3100).
