*****************************************************************
Documentation for TIMEZONE
*****************************************************************
TimeZone is a program to display the time in cities around the world.
TimeZone will only work properly on microbees with a Real Time Clock chip
fitted. Having colour fitted is also very helpful; if you don't have
colour, then the screen display will come out looking very screwy indeed.
TimeZone expects the following files to be present on the current disk:
WORLD.SCN the screen display
CITIES.TXT the description file for cities and timezones. Each city has
a line specifying
a) the longitude of the city (west is -ve, east is +ve)
b) x position and y position of the time on the screen, so
that the time can be displayed in the correct place on screen
c) finally, the name of the city.
Provision is made in the TurboPascal source for the date to be displayed
along with the time; all the logic is there to correctly compute the date,
but all the lines to display the date have been commented out - this
doesn't detract from the utility of the program though. If someone wants to
add the date to the time display, they are more than welcome to do so.
As distributed, there are only four cities in CITIES.TXT; if you wish to
add some more, go ahead, but remember to keep the display uncluttered.
TimeZone can be terminated by pressing the Escape key.
