What is EarthSun?
----------------
EarthSun is a MicroSoft Windows 3.x program that displays the current
sunlit-side of the Earth in an icon. You can specify the icon's title to
display the current time and/or date in *many* different formats, as well
as changing the icon's background color and rotation direction. EarthSun
even adjusts AUTOMATICALLY for daylight savings/summer time for users in
the United States, the UK, and Europe.
Installing EarthSun
-------------------
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 may place the EARTHSUN.EXE file in the subdirectory
of your choice, but EarthSun MUST be able to find it's EARTHSUN.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. See the "Troubleshooting"
section 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.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
