A Shareware Program

All Rights Reserved

PO Box 8216
Pittsburgh PA 15217
Following is a basic description on how to use the program. Registered
users will receive an expanded printed manual that provides information on
the scientific theories involved (with references), a background on the
history of astronomical calculations and further explanations of the
astronomical terms used. In addition, registered users have access to
technical support and information on program upgrades and other related
software.
AstroCalc I calculates astronomical data for the Sun, Moon and planets and
the various forms of time used in astronomy. By inputting date, time and
geographical location the conditions of the heavenly bodies are calculated.
The program is useful to plan observing sessions, to investigate past,
present and future sky configurations and in general to provide easily
accessible astronomical information.
Getting started
The program runs under the DOS (2.1 or later) environment. To install:
Harddisk Use - Highly recommended for best speed performance.
1. Select or create a subdirectory for the program on your hard drive, for
example, C:\ACALC1. Do this by changing to your C: drive (Enter C: at A> or
B> , etc.) and have the C> prompt showing. Then use CD\ (Enter) to go
to the root directory. Now make the new directory by using the DOS command
MD\ACALC1 (Enter). Then change to this directory using CD\ACALC1
(Enter).
2. Copy the files from the program disk. Place the program disk in the A:
or B: drive and use the command COPY A:*.* (Enter). ( or COPY B:*.*
if using the B: drive). The files are now installed on the hard drive.
3. Now start and run the program by entering: ACALC1 The program will now
start up. Follow the prompts on screen.
Floppy Disk Use - If harddisk is not available.
3.5'' or 5.25'' Disk - Place disk in A: or B: drive and change to that
drive (use A: or B: and Enter). Now start and run the program by entering:
ACALC1
Using the Program
Once the program is running you can input data and start getting results.
On the Enter Data screen you enter the date, time, location and time zone.
Date, time and zone, and location are automatically saved to re-use.
ALT + X lets you exit the program to DOS.
The time zones are the standard US time zones: Eastern Standard Time (EST),
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) and so on through Central, Mountain and Pacific
times. The other time option is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or Universal Time
(UT) which is the world time standard , deriving from the 0 degree line of
longitude that passes through the observatory at Greenwich in the east of
London, England.
The time is input as 24 hour time, where for example, 2:00 PM is equal to
14:00 hours.
The latitude and longitude are input as decimal values such as 42.85. The
values of latitude range from 0 (zero) at the equator to up to plus 90
degrees north of the equator (+90, the north pole) or down to minus 90
degrees south of the equator (-90, the south pole). For longitudes the
values range from 0 (zero) at Greenwich, England up to +180 degrees going
west and down to -180 degrees going east. For example, all of the USA has
plus longitudes and all of China has minus longitudes.
When entering plus latitudes or longitudes the + sign is optional. The -
sign must be used.
When ready to gets results use ALT + C for calculations.
The Data Selection screen now gives you the options for which bodies you
want. You can choose the Sun, Moon or any planet or all planets
or all bodies (Sun, Moon and all planets).
Then you will see up to 18 screens of information covering the Sun, Moon
and helio- and geocentric data for Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Notice that the Sun data screen also has some
information related to the Earth: the Sun/Earth distance and the Earth's
eccentricity of orbit.
After all data has been displayed, you will be able to run another case or
exit the program. Press A for another case, or X to exit.
We hope you find the program useful. If you continue to use the program you
are required to register your use of the program (and you will receive the
expanded manual, technical support and access to program upgrades). Thank
you for your support!

Windows 3.0 and 3.1 applications, fonts, icons, games and wallpaper
files.

and in many cases view a screen shot.
You can find any program in the collection quickly and easily by using
the search button. When you are in a program category just type in the
title of the program and you will be taken to the description of that
program. The popular WordCruncher text retrieval program has been added
to allow searching every description for any word within that
description, not just in the title or keywords chosen by someone who
thinks differently than you do. The WordCruncher is ideal for finding
programs which perform a specific function, just try searching for
"split", "math" or "subtract". Or switch to the Disks section where you
will find an alphabetical list of all the programs which can be searched
by program title or disk number.

program you want and review it to be sure, without ever having to run it
from your hard disk.

Welcome to the world of Shareware, state of the art software you can
actually try before you buy.
Shareware, a term coined in the early eighties, refers to the method of
distribution chosen by the software authors. With shareware, you can
receive a program and put it through its paces without having to pay for
it. If you find the program useful, and choose to keep the program, then
you pay a modest registration fee to the author.
For the last nine years, PC-SIG has been providing shareware and public
domain software to its customers and members. Since 1982 PC-SIG has
developed an unprecedented library of shareware programs, constantly
updated, consistently strong in every category. Our library of
shareware contains over 3500 titles divided into 120 logical categories.
Every program we add to the library is thoroughly reviewed and tested to
insure that each one meets the high standards of reliability and value we
insist upon and you expect. As a result, our library doesn't contain
every shareware program available, just those that really work.
PC-SIG has grown into the premier distributor of shareware and and
shareware information by producing shareware collections on CD-ROM,
publishing an encyclopedia of shareware, and by publishing Shareware
Magazine, a bi-monthly magazine distributed world-wide.
Quality and support - guaranteed. All of our programs are guaranteed
virus free. We've isolated our systems and check every program
submitted to insure that no viruses make their way to your computer or
ours.
Our support staff is available by phone as well as on our BBS to help
you with questions about installation and operation of PC-SIG's
products.
Through our network of international distributors, PC- SIG strives to
bring you the most current, exciting, technically advanced software
available as shareware.
If you can't find the software you need in PC-SIG's library, it may well
not exist.

Shareware Magazine has distinguished itself as the only internationally
distributed periodical devoted to the use and business of shareware.
Shareware Magazine provides detailed reviews of new products,
hard-hitting comparisons of shareware programs with regular retail
software, and timely information about changes in the industry and the
latest technology.
Intriguing columnists and regular features add to the excitement. The
beginners section sheds light on new user's concerns regarding
everything from choosing the right operating system to alleviating the
intimidation of using on-line systems.
Educational sections focus on how low cost shareware can aid in
classroom learning, curriculum development, and as a forum for
discussing the impact of computers and technology in schools.
Graphics Gallery renders expert advice and suggestions on how to better
work with graphics, desktop publishing, CAD systems, and the Windows
environment.
Programmers benefit from others experience in developing new programs or
polishing existing ones as well as choosing the right programming
language.
And columnists provide that subjective component, sometimes
controversial, that calls for a closer look at the way we compute and
how shareware effects what we do.
Published bimonthly, Shareware Magazine is available on a subscription
or at your local newsstand or computer bookstore. In conjunction with
PC-SIG, there are special benefits for subscribers as well as
