I got it running on my ST2.  No problem at all.

My only complaint is that the screen is 6 hours out of sync
with the sun itself.  That is because the program is set to
agree with the sun if you have the clock on your ST set to
Middle European Time.

Joep Mathijssen, the porter, (good work Joep) is sitting 
one fourth of the way around the world from me.

I would love to see the sun come up (or set) just as the edge of
the shadow moves past thej place on the map where I sit.  (*)
I think that there needs to be a way to set an "offset" on the
sunclock.  The offset needs to be in hours and minutes, cause
not all time zones are one hour apart.
