- OS/2 2.0 Lunar Phases...
-
- PMMOND (OS/2 2.0 Lunar Phases) is a PM program which (should...<g>) cal-
- culate the lunar phases with an accuracy of max. +- 2 minutes
- (typically better than +- 1 minute): this holds wether the year
- is 1355, 1582, 1992 or whatever...
-
- THIS PROGRAM ONLY WORKS ON OS/2 2.0 (since it's all 32bit).
-
- The program is Version 0.95 - means it's still not multithreading
- and only intended to run on machines with 80486 or with
- Math Coprocessor - since a lot of number crunching is done...
- It runs on machines without Coprocessor, but be prepared that PM
- IS LOCKED for 5...10 seconds during calculations!
- Maybe a multithreading version will correct this problem...
-
- This is my first PM program, originally written for OS/2 1.x. So
- don't expect a perfect program - known problems:
-
- - PMMOND is not multithreading
- - The program canmnot be moved on the WPS. Maybe WM_QUERYTRACKINFO
- is handled different in OS/2 2.0 than in OS/2 1.x (where every-
- thing worked fine)?
-
- I translated all into English, but maybe the translation is not very
- well done... Any suggestions are welcome.
-
- I had some problems compiling OS/2 2.0 Lunar Phases with C Set/2, so
- the program run only on my machine for some time... Hope, this is
- corrected now.
-
- The program may be distributed freely on all MAGNUM BBS's (like the
- GILMORE SYSTEMS BBS, (818) 706-9805). Provided, it works at all...
