When the Night Vision package file is downloaded from the Internet,
it will likely be named as follows:
nvjvv.zip
where vv is the version number (10 represents 1.0).
The suggested convention for other language versions is to have a 2
character language designation after the version number. For example
a German version 1.0 would be represented as nvj10de.zip.
Unzipping the package file produces the following two files: | |
nvj.jar | The Java file containing the Night Vision program |
nvj.htm | Documentation readable by a web browser |
The program creates the following file to store user preferences in: | |
nvj.ini | Initialization file |
The user may request the program create the following 3 files to be modified by him/her: | |
nvj.loc | Location file |
nvj.ds | The deep sky object file |
nvj.stn | The star name file |
If Night Vision is downloaded as a self-installing package,
in addition to the above files several other files (and a subdirectory)
will be included to support the install/uninstall process.
