Hi all;
If anyone is nostalgic for DOS, and has a copy of the Dialist's
Companion ; and would like to run it on Windows 7; I have found
DOSbox (free) to work well. DOSBox is also advertised to be compatible
with Linux, Mac OS X and OS/2.

outside is a not unusual sight, even in small
towns, I think it highly unlikely a ban exists anywhere.

an area drenched with sun (by definition the sites in question) than in

For my schools program I have used a single analemma in Elementary schools and
split analemmas in High Schools.
If you would like further information please contact me.

All we need now is a good clock to control the mechanism which compensates for
the EoT?

While the objective of sundials are no longer the determination of accurate
time, I find the folk today expect to find mean time. I provide a notice which
explains how the students can compare mean time and sun time directly from
their dial.

If you have a transparent glass you particularly like for a dial, I
have found grinding it with # 220 carborundum powder with water for a
few minutes makes it useable.

For your Canadian sortie make sure you have adequate medical
insurance. In Canada, Cuba and North Korea it is a criminal offence
for a doctor to charge a citizen for medical services, but in Canada,
for non citizens they think of a number, double it and add a nought.

mean time can be read directly within
about +-3 minutes (most of the time a good deal better) during school
hours for most of the year.
I can send photos if you wish.
I haven't a clue about doing it as a business, it is my retirement

No problems at all; two comments
1. The EoT is the negative of the convention usually accepted today
2. The description of the use of the horizontal dial could include the use
of the analemmas for direct reading.

accuracy of around 30 seconds all round the dial and the EoT graph can be
