Sun 28-Apr-91: Acquired from Simtel20 the GeoClock set of World map
day/night terminator graphical display facilities featuring
/pc/astronomy/geoclk42.zip.  Its an excellent program, but its new
user guidance is weak.  To try to figure out what can be done with
the program is veritable detective work, even with a careful perusal
of the manual.  Nevertheless, definitely worth a look. 
   Should you be interested in knowing where the heck Vaasa is,
include the following line into geoclock.dat: 63.06 21.37 Vaasa

Sun 28-Apr-91: Acquired /pc/diskutil/1pass1.zip from Simtel20.  Its
purpose is to replace MsDos diskcopy program which requires several
changes of disks for larger floppies and diskettes.  Useful.  I had
no problems with 1pass when the target disk was already formatted,
but the program couldn't cope with an unformatted 1.2K floppy on my
386.
