Hello Friends,
The copy of Brad's SUNDIALS program I found on my iMac (OS 8.6) works
very well. I copied the folder over to my eMac (OS 10.2.8) and it ran
OK in Classic mode (OS 9.2.2). I double-clicked on the program icon
and the program ran without any trouble. I didn't do a lot of
testing, but it seemed all right.
The folder is 2.2 MB. If Brad gives permission, I'd be happy to try
to post the folder where it could be downloaded by anyone interested.
Best wishes,
Mac Oglesby
I have a copy of Sundials (icon has a Martini glass and something beside it
and "LUFKIN" underneath) -- so I presume this is the right program. It is
version 1.0, copyright 1995 Martiniware. I presume it used to work at one
time. I just tried to execute it under Mac OS 9 and it crashes with an error
report.

Many moons ago, I wrote a Mac Sundial program, but I lost my
machine and so the program is no longer directly available from me.
However, it used to live on a website (http://dialist.webjump.com)
maintained by a contributor to this mailing list. The website no
longer seems to exist. If the owner of the website is reading this,
perhaps s/he could forward the program to you.
Regards, Brad
P.S. The program was written in True Basic, so I was able to port
it to Windows with no trouble. The Windows version is still
available from me. One of these days, I plan to re-write it in
Java, which should make it available on all machines with a Java
runtime (and that's a lot of machines).

Can anyone point me in the direction of good Macintosh software for the
design of sundials? I have seen several windows programmes out there, but
none for Apple Mac.
If there isn't anything already available and there is a reasonable demand,
I may consider writing my own...
