- Terra*Time (c) 1988 GeoGraphics Software
- User-Supported Software

- PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
- Terra*Time is a program which tracks and displays the local time in as
- many as 44 cities all around the globe. Unlike other programs of this
- type, Terra*Time accounts not only for time zone effects but also for
- daylight savings time at each city. Information is provided on a
- full-screen color non-graphics world map display. Windows and
- menu-driven commands are used for program modifications. Program
- options provide users with the ability to tailor the display for their
- specific needs. As many or as few cities as desired can be displayed.
- Military or 12 hour clock can be selected and the layout of the world
- map can be varied to suit the user. Additional program features include
- time zone differences and great circle distances between cities and a
- special alarm feature which can be set for any world city time.

-
- HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
- This program is designed for IBM Personal Computers and close
- compatibles. It will execute on the IBM-PC, PC-XT, and PC-jr. DOS
- Version 2.1 or later is required. Terra*Time does not require an internal
- clock and will accept the time set by you during DOS boot-up. Of
- course, the use of the internal clock will allow for automatic
- timekeeping.
-
- Since the program relies extensively on color, a color monitor is
- recommended. The program will run, however, unmodified, on the Compaq.
- Terra*Time requires about 64K of memory and does not require BASIC to
- operate.
-
- Terra*Time V2.1 is an enhanced version of GeoChron V1.0. The name has
- been changed for legal reasons. Please destroy any copies you have of
- the latter program and use the new version of Terra*Time in its place.

- PROGRAM REVISIONS
-
- VERSION 2.1
- This revision fixes a problem in the routine which saves data to the
- disk file. Also writes LOCAL TIME date at bottom of screen in new
- format, eg 09Jan88 rather than 1-09-88. Documentation now explains
- how to alter plotting position of city points by editting the data
- file.
