5 Feb 1994 TRAKSAT Version 3.02
What do I need to run the program? In order to run the program
the user will need the following hardware/software;
IBM or 100% compatible PC,XT,AT,PS/2,386,486, 640K
Ram (550K FREE RAM IS REQUIRED), Floppy or Hard
Disk (approximately 1Meg free), Text mode display
(25x80), Hercules, CGA, EGA, VGA, or SVGA graphics
Math coprocessor is NOT required BUT RECOMMENDED,
(IF A COPROCESSOR IS PRESENT IT WILL BE USED),
PC DOS or MS DOS VERSION 3.0 or above.
To install the program first create a directory on your hard
disk. Type "C:" <Enter> then "CD\" "MD\TRAK302" <Enter> to create
a directory named C:\TRAK302. (Do not type the quotes, the <Enter>
means press the Enter or Return key.) Next type
"TRAK302 C:\TRAK302" <Enter>.
This will place the program file into the C:\TRAK302 directory.
If your hardware is different substitute the required changes as
needed.
Next copy ALL the files to the just created directory on your
hard disk. That is all that is required to run the program. Read
Chapter 2 (User Options) for additional details on user set
options that you may want. IT IS STRONGLY SUGGESTED THAT YOU
SET THE OUTPUT PATH IN THE TRAKSAT.INI FILE. If you do not set
the path the program may over write output files.
Running The Program
To start TRAKSAT you type "TRAKSAT", without the quotation marks,
at the DOS prompt. Several command-line options are available to
modify the start-up of the program. See Chapter 2 for details.
If all is well the program will startup with a Tabular mode
tracking the Mir satellite.
**** NOTE ****
TRAKSAT is a large program and can use EXPANDED and EXTENDED
memory if it is present. It is recommended that you install
HIMEM, load DOS high, and install EMM386 also. This is NOT
required but can greatly enhance the program. EXPANDED memory can
greatly speed up the program and can increase the size of element
files used by TRAKSAT.
SUGGESTED additions to your CONFIG.SYS file (386,486 systems):
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE ram
FILES = 50
BUFFERS=17
STACKS=9,256
If you do not know if you have expanded/extended memory type
"MEM" at the DOS prompt. Below is an example output from MEM that
displays the current memory conditions.
C:\TRAKSAT>MEM
655360 bytes total conventional memory
655360 bytes available to MS-DOS
632688 largest executable program size
6651904 bytes total EMS memory <== This is EXPANDED MEMORY
6062080 bytes free EMS memory
7602176 bytes total contiguous extended memory
0 bytes available contiguous extended memory
6062080 bytes available XMS memory
MS-DOS resident in High Memory Area <== DOS loaded HIGH
