- SUNCLOCK for the ATARI-ST.
- I was just wondering if it could run on an Atari ST. Tried to use
- simple GEM-calls, so no hacking for speed is done.

- Original readme:
-
-
- Sunclock is a SunView program that displays a map of the Earth,
- showing the portion illuminated by the Sun at the current time,
- properly corrected for the season. The program initially comes up
- iconic (126x63) and can be opened into a larger (640x320) pixel map.
-
- A SunView menu allows animated displays that show the passage of day
- and night, the changes in the seasons, and even the precession of the
- equinoxes as year follows year.
-
- I saw a program like this running under NeWS, and couldn't sleep until
- I had one for my SunView screen. It seems to work on Sun 3, 4, and
- 386i architectures, on any SunView later than 3.5. It's been tested
- most recently on a Sun 3/260 running SunOS 4.0.3.
-
- Enjoy!
