GPSSYNC Revision History ------------------------ Each released version of GPSSYNC uses a four digit revision code such as 9838. The first two digits indicate the year and the second two digits indicate the week of the year. In some cases, an additional letter suffix is added to distinguish changes occurring within the same week or to identify special versions. A partial week at the beginning or end of the year is counted as a full week. Using this method, a year will typically have 53 weeks although it is possible to have 54 weeks in a leap year (1972 is an example). The current year-week revision code is shown on the Julian Date display, Display Mode 7, in my program ASTROCLK. This file records the revision history of program GPSSYNC through all of the minor twists and turns that usually accompany the evolution of such a program. These notes may also be helpful to users who are upgrading from one version to another to find out what has changed. David H.
