Installing Astro Info
"Astro Info" is installed the same way as any other Palm application. Use your Palm Desktop software (or pilot-link if you use Linux) to install the following files on your Palm, Visor or TRGPro:
- Astro-xx.prc
- The main program. It currently comes in two languages
- Astro-en.prc
- English
- Astro-de.prc
- Deutsch
You should only install one of these.
In addition to the basic program, there are a number of optional files you can install if you choose. It is recommended that you install at least the first two:
- dstrules.pdb
- A list of rules for daylight
savings time. It contains predefined rules for most
countries.
- Stars.pdb
- A catalog of bright stars up to magnitude
5.00. Stars are identified by their constellation, Beyer letter, and
SAO number.
- Messier.pdb
- The Messier catalog - The classic list of
famous stellar objects.
- Caldwell.pdb
- The Caldwell catalog - A modern counterpart
to the Messier catalog, the Caldwell catalog is a list of some of the
most interesting objects in our skies.
- Astro.pdb
- Some documentation on Astro Info, in DOC format.
- Location.pdb
- A list of cities and their latitude and longitude, in DOC format.
- License.pdb
- The Gnu General Public License, in DOC format. This license governs the copying and distribution of Astro Info.
And that's it. Once you've copied the files to your Palm, you're ready to go!
