to a decimal for easy checks.- Increased graphic resolution of the
display of illuminated Moon picture display

Chinese fonts to run it. These fonts are automatically installed if you have

download the Chinese fonts.

-
2 Major bugs fixed
- (1) Install program did not work properly due to inclusion of system DLLs.
These are now removed and the installation program will work (tested) for Win9X
and WinXP.
- (2) Program splash screen fixed. This was the cause of problems
experienced by many - the program appears not to run at all. Win XP NT and 2K
(except Win9X) all did not like the manner in which I popup the Splash
screen - the OS prevented LunarCal from popping up. So for those of you running
Win2K WinNT and WinXP this current version should work.

calculations. Rewrote the date & time functions with improved accuracy.

We do not need the seconds anyway. |
