DEEP SPACE 3-D is a powerful star mapping program that uses a database
of over 19,000 stars (expandable to nearly 250,000 stars and 1100
comets), used by a number of serious astronomy publications to create
their star charts.

It can produce all-sky views or horizon views for any day and time
anywhere on earth. Selected portions of the sky can be chosen by
constellation or coordinates, then zoomed in for more detailed views.
Comet paths can be computed and added to the star maps to create finder
charts or to visualize the orbits of comets from any point in space. A
new "What's Up" feature tells at a glance the times of sunrise, sunset,
twilight, moon phases, and positions of the sun, moon, planets and
current comets for a given day and time. Once computed, the information
is stored and may be added to the star maps.

The most unique feature of DEEP SPACE 3-D is depth. It can produce
stereo 3-D printouts that show the stars or the orbits of comets in
their true three dimensional relationships when viewed with a stereo
viewer. A 3-D viewer is included in the registration price.

Although DEEP SPACE 3-D has many features that will be attractive to
experts, it is simple enough to be used easily by beginners. An
extensive help menu teaches the beginner as much about astronomy as it
tells about the program. An improved user interface provides
intelligent default values in case the feature is beyond the interest or
knowledge of the user. It supports CGA, EGA, VGA and Hercules monitors.

This program is an ideal starting point for anyone who is looking for a
reliable guide to observational astronomy. For centuries man has gazed
at the night-time sky and wondered what was out there. DEEP SPACE will
help answer some of those questions.

                    Welcome to  DEEP SPACE 3-D  Version 2.1.

  You should have two disks: DEEP SPACE 3-D and DS SUPPLEMENT
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  IF YOU HAVE A HARD DRIVE:  Place the DEEP SPACE 3-D disk in a floppy drive 
  and type: 

             INSTALL <destination drive> [source drive]

  Examples:  INSTALL C       (to hard drive C from floppy drive A)
             INSTALL C B     (to hard drive C from floppy drive B)
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A HARD DRIVE:  If you have a 1.2 Meg or larger drive you 
  may copy all three 360k disks to the same high density disk.  Otherwise you 
  will need two drives.  Place the program disk in the default drive and type 
  DS3D.  The program disk must remain in the default drive at all times.  
  Choose the CHANGE CONFIGURATION option before attempting to run other 
  options in the program. 
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The file TEXT.TXT is intended to be accessed from the program, but it may be 
  listed from DOS if you need more help getting started.
