Add or modify a country

To modify an existing country:

  1. Edit the lonlat.txt file and do your modifications.
  2. Regenerate the lonlat.pra and z?.pra files from lonlat.txt and z?.txt

Note: you can also Rebuild the all countries directory.

To add a new country:

  1. Create a new directory in the directory where all countries are.
    For example, if you want to add England, it is a good idea to create the directory England.
  2. Prepare a lonlat.txt file, as many as needed z?.txt file and a name.txtfile for your country (see existing countries as an example).
  3. Regenerate your countries directory (menu Rebuild countries directory).

Remarks:

- For each city, you must give a number x that is the time zone number.
This number make a link with a zx.pra file used by Proastro to find out which time correction to apply to get U.T. time of birth. You can divide a country in as many time zones as necessary.

See time zone for more informations.
