- What is MarsIcon?
- ----------------
- MarsIcon is a MicroSoft Windows 3.x program that displays the current
- view of the planet Mars in an icon. You can specify the icon's title to
- display the current Central Meridian longitude, the number of hours and
- minutes until the next CM crossing, and the time and/or date in *many*
- different formats. You can also change the icon's background color and
- rotation direction. MarsIcon even adjusts AUTOMATICALLY for daylight
- savings/summer time for users in the United States, the UK, and Europe.
-
-
- Installing MarsIcon
- -------------------
- Simply use the Program Manager to create a New Program Icon in the group of
- your choice and set the "Working Directory" to the subdirectory where you
- installed the files. You can place MarsIcon in the subdirectory of your
- choice, but the program MUST be able to find it's MARSICON.INI file. If it
- cannot, then the About box will be displayed each and every time you start
- the program. If you have trouble, you may also set the "Working Directory"
- to your Windows subdirectory explicitly, or just leave it blank to have it
- default to your Windows subdirectory. Just make SURE your MARSICON.INI file
- can be found there. See the section "Troubleshooting" in the on-line help
- system for more information.
-
- I also recommend placing the Program Icon in the "Startup" group so it loads
- every time you start Windows.
-
- If you don't already have the file BWCC.DLL, make SURE you copy it to your
- Windows system subdirectory and erase any other older copies of it. See the
- file BWCC.TXT for more information.
