You may add your own short promotional files to the package, but no files must be removed from it. Short Description: ------------------ SkyMap is a highly accurate "planetarium" for Windows 3.1, Windows 95 or Windows NT. It can draw a map of the sky, as seen from any place on Earth, for any date between 4000BC and 8000AD, displaying stars, planets, comets, deep-sky objects, constellation names and figures, and a whole lot more. Detailed information about any object on a map can be obtained simply by clicking on it with the mouse, and high quality charts can be printed on any printer supported by Windows. Pictures of objects, in several formats, can be associated with objects and displayed, either manually or automatically. Long Description: ----------------- SkyMap is a shareware "Planetarium" program for Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later. It will display a map of the sky as seen from any point on Earth for any date between 4000BC and 8000AD. Two different types of map can be drawn: a "Horizon" map showing the observer's local horizon, and a "Sky Area" map showing a detailed view of a small area of the sky. You can "zoom in" on a map to a practically unlimited extent, and rapidly scroll around it.
