Islamap

Islamap V3.2 for the Psion 3a ============================ (C) Stephen B F Potts 1996 Islamap is designed for the mobile Moslem who, finding himself in a strange city, wishes to know when is prayer time and which way to face for Makkah. It runs on the Psion 3a. The display shows two screens. The first shows the local prayer times. Use of the left and right arrows allows you to select which map to see for the correct prayer time. The map consists of three arrows. The central arrow always points straight up the screen. Hold the computer in front of you and turn yourself round till the sun arrow points at the sun or the North Arrow points North. It shows True North not Magnetic North. When you have the arrows lined up with the sun or North then you are facing Makkah. The program will read details of where you are from the Home City as set in the World section of the Psion 3a. It also reads the date and time from the files set in the machine. If you wish to find the prayer time from an alternative location then set the Home City to that location. Installation and Use -------------------- To install the software the program fie Islamap.OPA needs to be installed in the APP directory on any drive. The data file Islamap.DAT must be installed on the OPD directory. Without this file the program will not run. The program can then be installed with Psion I in the usual way. The first screen offers the choice of Register, Continue or Exit. Later I hope you will register but for now press C for Continue. A nag screen will appear suggesting that you register. The time this is on the screen gets longer for every day that you do not register. The next screen shows the local prayer times and use of the left and right arrows will select the appropriate map or Exit. Distribution ------------ Islamap is distributed for you to try and use for a limited period. If it is of use please register as soon as possible. To register send your name and either œ10 (GBP)or US$15 to: Stephen B F Potts, c/o Bank House, Union Street, Wells, Somerset BA5 2PU Great Britain In return you will receive a registration number which will remove the nag screen and encourage me to think of other useful programs. Any comments or suggestions for further developments should be sent to me at the same address.
