Installation

Extract all files from the Zip file to a location of you choice, and run WXtrack.exe.  The files included in the archive are:

WXtrack.exe  the main program
WXtrack.hlp  the help file
WXtrack.cnt  the help contents
UserMap.jpg  1800 x 900 pixel world map with hill shading
ReadMe.txt  read-me file
noaa.txt   some 2-line orbital files
resource.txt   "
stations.txt   "
weather.txt   "
_City.txt   sample city data, rename to City.txt to activate

The following optional files change very infrequently, so to make the main download quicker, I am supplying them separately.

LargeUserMap.jpg - 1800 x 900 pixel world map
- in www.satsignal.eu  --> Satellite Tools, WXtrack

UserMap.jpg - 1800 x 900 pixel world map with hill shading
- in www.satsignal.eu  --> Satellite Tools, WXtrack

Countries.dat - Country boundary data
- in www.satsignal.eu  --> Satellite Tools, WXtrack

etopo5.elev - Topographic data
- in www.geol.binghamton.edu/faculty/jones/etopo5.zip

The program may require additional libraries that are not already installed on your system, although they should be if you have already downloaded an earlier version of WXtrack.  If you are impatient, please at least read the about the Setup tab, which will be your first screen.
