Answers to problems with "Hallo northern sky". Version 1.62 for Windows 3.1:

1) Help I get error messages that not all files are there:

Check if all ZIP files are unzipped. You will need:

  1. HNSKY.EXE
  2. HNSKY.HLP
  3. BWCC.DLL
  4. SAO_HSKY.DAT  or PPM_HSKY.DAT
  5. SAC_1SKY.DAT or SAC_2SKY.DAT or SAC_3SKY.DAT

Put them all in one directory/folder.

The different datafiles can be set via menu FILE, SETTINGS, LOCATION/TIMEZONE.


2) Help I get a message "Not a windows application".

Most likely you did not have BWCC.DLL. This file is included with the program.


3) Help which files do I need ? You will need 6 files minimum:

1) HNSKY.EXE

2) HNSKY.HLP

3a) SAC_1SKY.DAT (small) or 3b) SAC_2SKY.DAT (medium) or 3c) SAC_3SKY.DAT (large)

4a) SAO_HSKY.DAT (small version) or 4b) SAO_HSKY.DAT (large) or 4c) PPM_HSKY.DAT (very large)

5) BWCC.DLL

6) DEFAULT.HNS



1) ,  2), 5) and 6) are in HNSKYP.ZIP

3a), 3b) and 3c) are in HNSKYD.ZIP

4a) is in HNSKYD1.ZIP

4b) is in HNSKYD2.ZIP

4c) is in HNSKYD3.ZIP



That means you need: HNSKYP.ZIP and HNSKYD.ZIP and HNSKYD1.ZIP

or: HNSKYP.ZIP and HNSKYD.ZIP and HNSKYD2.ZIP

or: HNSKYP.ZIP and HNSKYD.ZIP and HNSKYD3.ZIP
