[guide-user] Display occultation by clicking list

Masaki Kouda Dec 26, 1999

Hi Guiders.

I enjoyed new features. 21 Dec version allowed to display asteroidal
occultation by clicking on the list.
List is shown [Help] -> [About Guide]

This occultation list is for North America observers. So I decide to
make list for Japanese observers.

This list is in EHELPEXT.DAT file. I found Guide use this file on
English Mode. On Japanese Mode this file should be AHELPEXT.DAT.
So I made it. ('A' come from 'strings.daA' , I think.)

And I found I can add planetary occultations and lunar occultation.
My asteroidal occultation list include 2 planetary occultation.
Clicking on the list, Guide re-center Jupiter, Pluto, ...

And I made some lunar occultation list using Dance of the Planets.
Now my Guide can display all occutation by clicking list.

I put this file on my site.

If you want to display, please dounload it and extract to your
Guide directory. Run Guide, then change {Language] to [Japanese] .

I know your computer can not display Japanese word. So I made
'strings.daa' same with 'strings.dat' (English) .
Then set location to 'Tokyo' , or '139.75E' and '35.65N .
You will see may occultation easilly.

I hope you understand my writting.
