Add or modify a country
To modify an existing country:
- Edit the lonlat.txt file and do your modifications.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
