Miscellaneous Dialog Boxes
The following dialog boxes appear in response to the indicated menu
selections:
UTC Correction (Main Window,
Setup:Time Zone...).
Enter a time in hh:mm format representing the difference between your
computer's clock and UTC or GMT. This allows the program to operate in real
time using UTC, regardless of your time zone or preference. For users in the
western hemisphere, local time (computer clock) generally lags UTC by
several hours.
Customize Map Colors (Main Window,
Setup:Colors...)
By clicking on one of the colored squares (to bring up yet another dialog
box), you can get a choice of colors for various map features. This can be
used to make the maps easier to see or print. Note: the ocean and land colors
in the maps are more difficult to change than the grid, ground track, and
observer colors. Modifying ocean or land colors will cause the program to take
longer to load. Some extra disk space (up to a few hundred kbytes) will also
be used during the loading phase.
Note: Because of the way SVGA graphics boards generate colors, certain colors
may not display the same way in different windows. Only the so-called "system
colors" (typically about 16 solid colors) are entirely consistent in their
appearance. So some tinkering may be necessary to get a pleasing result.
