Terra*Time (c) 1988 GeoGraphics Software
User-Supported Software

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Terra*Time is a program which tracks and displays the local time in as
many as 44 cities all around the globe. Unlike other programs of this
type, Terra*Time accounts not only for time zone effects but also for
daylight savings time at each city. Information is provided on a
full-screen color non-graphics world map display. Windows and
menu-driven commands are used for program modifications. Program
options provide users with the ability to tailor the display for their
specific needs. As many or as few cities as desired can be displayed.
Military or 12 hour clock can be selected and the layout of the world
map can be varied to suit the user. Additional program features include
time zone differences and great circle distances between cities and a
special alarm feature which can be set for any world city time.


HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
This program is designed for IBM Personal Computers and close
compatibles. It will execute on the IBM-PC, PC-XT, and PC-jr. DOS
Version 2.1 or later is required. Terra*Time does not require an internal
clock and will accept the time set by you during DOS boot-up. Of
course, the use of the internal clock will allow for automatic
timekeeping.

Since the program relies extensively on color, a color monitor is
recommended. The program will run, however, unmodified, on the Compaq.
Terra*Time requires about 64K of memory and does not require BASIC to
operate.

Terra*Time V2.1 is an enhanced version of GeoChron V1.0. The name has
been changed for legal reasons. Please destroy any copies you have of
the latter program and use the new version of Terra*Time in its place.


PROGRAM REVISIONS

VERSION 2.1
This revision fixes a problem in the routine which saves data to the
disk file. Also writes LOCAL TIME date at bottom of screen in new
format, eg 09Jan88 rather than 1-09-88. Documentation now explains
how to alter plotting position of city points by editting the data
file.
