Introduction
The astro-metrics DA shows the Local and Universal date and time, the Greenwich and Local Mean Sidereal Time and the Julian Day and Modified Julian Day. As a Desk Accessory it can be called up in any other application currently running to give you the current times.
Direct links to the other astro-metrics astronomical programmes allows quick switching between those applications.
Current Limitation:
The astro-metrics DA doesn't currently recognise the other astro-metrics applications if they are on an external card in the PALM/launcher directory. If the applications are stored and managed on an external card via 3rd party applications like PowerRUN or similar, the astro-metrics DA works as if those programmes resided in the internal RAM.
You can call up the astro-metrics DA over any application currently running ,via the assigned pen stroke, to view the current Local and Universal date and time, the Greenwich and Local Mean Sidereal Time and the Julian Day and Modified Julian Day. If other astro-metrics astronomical applications are installed you can call them up by tapping on their icons in the top row of the DA.
Tapping anywhere outside the astro-metrics DA window will close it, and bring you back to the current application.
