A new beta version of my program to chart tracks computed by IridFlar 1.4 is available as http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle/programs/ibmpc/irid_map.zip. Some enhancements suggested by Randy John, and saving/restoring some values in a .cfg (.ini type) file, are introduced. The .cfg file should be named on the irid_map.exe call. Default name is skymap.cfg - no default directory. The file can be shared with SkyMap - irid_map uses Lat=, Long=, MapDate= from the [SkyMap] section (more to come). The few fields presently shared with IridFlar is in [IridFlar] (more to come), and those that are unique to Irid_Map are in [IridMap] (most of them done). [IridFlar] IridOut=z:\skysat\tyre12*.txt [IridMap] SkyMap_cty=Z:\SKYMAP\*.cty SkyMap_pnt=H:\QUICKSKY\*.pnt MaxLat=60 MaxLong=19 MinLat=59 MinLong=17 CityNameLength=-11 IridProg=z:\skysat\iridflar.exe IridTLE=iridium.tle File names with * or ? will not be replaced with names without them. The file is created/updated on program normal exit. The readme.txt file is updated, but does not contain the above, or any change history. --------------------------------------------------------------- -- bjorn@tt-tech.se (office) b_gimle@algonet.se (home) -- -- 59.2237N, 18.2286E, 44 m http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle -- -- SeeSat-L / Visual Satellite Observer Home Page found at -- -- http://www.satellite.eu.org/satintro.html -- ---------------------------------------------------------------
