HOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE ASTROCLOCK


Downloading Astroclock

The program is made for a modern MS DOS-computer with VGA-card and color monitor and works also in Windows 95 and 3x.. Go to the OUT BASKET for downloading astro.zip in the Public Folder. Follow the instructions there.

Installing Astroclock

You will have downloaded a "zip" compressed archive named astro.zip. Create a directory for Astroclock (for example C:\ASTRO and extract the files from the archive into it with PKUNZIP or a compatible extractor program. If you're using PKUNZIP from the MS-DOS prompt, you might install Astroclock with the commands:

    MKDIR C:\ASTRO
    CD C:\ASTRO
    PKUNZIP ASTRO.ZIP

Once Astroclock is installed, you can launch the application simply by typing START from the MS-DOS prompt while in its directory, or by using the Run item on the Start menu and entering C:\ASTRO\START as the program name. Obviously, if you used a different drive or directory name instead of "C:\ASTRO", you would enter that name. For convenience, create a shortcut icon that points to Astroclock, and you'll be able to launch Astroclock simply by double clicking it.
