(1) INTRODUCTION/REGISTRATION

Systematic Navigation is a Psion 3A solution for astronomical
and coastal navigation.  The combination of the versatile
hand-held Psion Series 3A personal organiser and Systematic's
easy-to-use application software will assist you with a
wide range of navigational tasks.

The object of the manual is to help you get the most out of
the application.  The manual provides background on the use
of Systematic Navigation and the methods used in its
formulation.  It also provides in a portable, convenient form
all the data you need for astronomical navigation and sight
planning.

Systematic Navigation solves all the problems of calculating
hour angles declination and sight reduction in astronomical
navigation or trigonometry in coastal situations.  It is
totally automated and removes the need for a pocket
calculator, almanac or sight tables and provides:

1.  Position fixes for up to ten sights
2.  Rise and set including transits and moon phases
3.  Star Identification from angle and bearing
4.  Almanac calculations - hour angles, altitude and azimuth
5.  Solve course
6.  Destination
7.  Estimated position
8.  Course to steer
9.  Great Circle or Rhumb-line headings
10. Horizontal sextant
11. Vertical sextant for distance-off calculations
12. True and apparent wind and speed

You may make as many copies of this disk as you wish and pass
it and the documentation on to others, provided that you make
no charge for the software.  We would encourage you to
register in order to receive the latest edition of
Systematic Navigation.

Systematic Navigation also produces two other navigation
packages, using Excel or Basic for use on a PC.  These
use broadly the same methodology and offers more scope
for printed output.

10 You should have files in both c:\app and the new sub-directories
   c:\app\fls and c:\app\dat.

11 Using PsiWin, replicate the directory structure on the
internal disk of your Psion.  The application file
SysNav11.opa should be in the apps directory while the 'dat'
and 'txt' files should be in \app\dat.  The non-word files
such as data and module files should be in \app\fls. Copy
the manual and ReadMe file to \wrd on the Psion.
