Software News : Digital Universe 1.5 (OS4) Demo Version Released
Posted by BillE on 2007/6/28 14:37:14 (2748 reads) News by the same author
Software News

A Demonstration Version of SYZYGY's "The Digital Universe" v 1.5 for Amiga OS4 has been uploaded to OS4Depot and also to Aminet.

This is a demo of the latest work in progress, the full commercial version will be available in the not too distant future.

For further information visit http://www.digitaluniverse.org.uk

More.....

Resized Image

The demo has the following restrictions
and limitations over the registered version:

1. Stars, galaxies, nebulae, and clusters are only shown
in a square from 4 to 7 hours right ascension and -15 to
15 degrees declination. This roughly covers the region
occupied by the constellation of Orion, and is visible
from both the northern and southern hemispheres.

2. The demo version will not allow you to simulate a view of
the night sky later than November 5, 2007 nor before
January 1, 2005.

3. Most of the hypertext encyclopedia of astronomy has been
removed. The exceptions, which remain with this demo
package include:
- the online help on how to use the software
- the description and pictures for the Sun
- the description and pictures for M42 (The Great Orion
Nebula), M43, M78, IC 434 (background illumination for
the Horsehead Nebula), and Betelgeuse - objects which
are located in the region defined by restriction # 1.


IMPORTANT NOTE

This Demo Version of The Digital Universe v1.5 will NOT conflict
with nor cause any operational problems if you already have the
older 68k version 1.03 installed. In fact it is even possible to
run both versions at the same time should you so wish.

Trying out this demo will not lock you into an irreversible
upgrade path !

 Re: Digital Universe 1.5 (OS4) Demo Version Released
Finally! I have been waiting for this since I got my AmigaOne. And even if I could use the 680x0 1.03 version, this is much faster, and certain upgrade!

(I know, I have been betatesting the PPC/AOS4 version. It really is a nice program!)

Thank you BillE!

@BillE

Maybe you should add the MUI classes to the "Required:" field.

At least a few?

I for one haven't had "Busy.mcc" installed, but maybe my install is broken (MUI , that is)?

I will add it to the requirements as it is strictly a MUI External class as opposed to a standard MUI internal one.

I did not think it would be necessary to mention it as such because busy.mcc comes with the MUI setup as supplied on the OS4 install CDs so everyone /should/ have it already?

Of course "should have" does not always mean "do have" so I will add this to the final version docs etc.

Thanks for the feedback.


Bill.

Well done, Bill, beautiful program. Runs well with the latest beta, too. Looking forward to the full version.

PS: the "FirstSteps.guide" has "SOFTSPRITES" miss-spelled as "SOFTSRPITES" in several places.
