Islamic prayer schedules, the direction of the Qibla,
and various data related to the Hijri calendar. You
may freely give copies of this program to others.
Since the program contains an editable data base,
please save a backup copy, and use only a working copy
to do your computations. Please give only unmodified
copies to others, and include this documentation with
the program.
The Place menu
This is the first menu you should look at. Minaret
contains a built-in gazetteer with geographical information
about 170 cities initially. At any time, one of these
is the "Current Location" for which all computations
are done. To specify any location as the Current Location,
click on the "Select location" item in the
"Place" menu. A large window will appear
in which the list at left is the gazetteer. As you
scroll through this list and click on various location
names, the stored data about them appears in the boxes
at right. If your desired location is in the gazetteer,
select it, then press "Make it Current Location".
All subsequent computations will be done for that
city, even when you exit and relaunch Minaret. You
can edit the gazetteer to add and delete locations,
and to modify information about existing locations.
By editing the boxes and setting radio buttons at
right, you can supply the geographical data about the
cities you wish to add. You will need to know the
latitude, longitude, zone time relative to Greenwich,
and whether
or not the place observes Daylight Savings Time. After
filling in the information for each city, press "Update/add
this location". To delete a location, select
it in the gazetteer, then press "Remove this location".
Only 200 cities are allowed in the gazetteer. So
you may need to delete some locations to make room
for others. You can find out how many cities are
already in the gazetteer by selecting the "Gazetteer
size" item.
