vwAtlas

vwATLAS ======= for PSION System 5 Author: (C) Peter von Walter email: vwalter@physi.uni-heidelberg.de www: http://pi.physi.uni-heidelberg.de/~vwalter/my/Homepage.html What is vwATLAS? ---------------- vwATLAS is a little atlas in your pocket. It handles maps (different scales), locations from a database (countries, cities, ...) and tracks (from waypoints and GPS). Who needs vwATLAS? ------------------ Everyone who is (as I am) visual oriented and wants to see locations on a map. Installation ------------ Run vwATLAS.SIS. These folders will be created: \System\Apps\vwATLAS: all program files and language specific help files. \Documents\vwATLAS\DATA: example databases with cities (WORLD.dat, D.dat, USA.dat). \Documents\vwATLAS\MAPS: example maps (WORLD.mbm, ...). \Documents\vwATLAS\TRACKS: example tracks (ROUNDTRIP.trk). Updating -------- Please note, that all files in the installation package will overwrite files with the same name in the the same folder. This is especially important for ALL files in "Documents/vwATLAS". If you want to save your files with your data, always rename them or copy them to a different location before installation! See Version History below for "What`s New". Online Help ----------- Standard installation of the online helpfile (vwATLAS.hlp) is the englisch version. If you want to use another helpfile, delete the current file "vwATLAS.hlp" (or better rename to "vwATLAS_E.hlp) and rename the desired language file back to "vwATLAS.hlp"! The following files with these languages are currently available: vwATLAS.hlp (English) vwATLAS_D.hlp (German, NOT AVAILABLE YET!) How to start ------------ The best way to learn the program, is to use it! Navigate with the cursor, Zoom in and out and search (Find) for any locations! Use the online help file! Registration ------------ This program is SHAREWARE! You have the possibility to test the program for a certain time (14 days) with certain limits in a demo mode. If you consider the program useless, simply uninstall it. If you want to continue to use the program, I ask you for a little contribution (see About..). I will send you a personal key (preferable via email) which allows you to work with the program unlimited. Please do the following: -Call "About" in the menu of the program -Open the registration dialog with "ENTER" for all needed informations. -Send me the amount shown there (in Û or equivalent), directly as a bill throuh post mail (is propably the cheapest and save enough!) or send it to my account. -Send me also your name, under which you would like to register the program and the "SerialNr" (number), which is given in the dialog. -Enter in "Owner" your name (see above) and in "Key" your personal key (delivered by me) and your program should immediately turn into a full working version. Disclaimer ---------- THE AUTHOR SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR TO YOU OR YOUR SYSTEM AS A RESULT OF USING THIS PROGRAM OR OTHERWISE! Each program can have errors (sorry)! I will try to get rid of these in future versions. Also I will try to improve and extend the functionality of the programs, as far as I can. Registration is of course also valid for these future versions. Please feel free to contact me if you found an obvious error (sometimes its really a bug, not a feature!) and to send me all your proposals for improvement. Version History --------------- 1.02 First public version for System 5.
