You need to set the location of your home machine or net in one of the
database files or the program will bother you until you do.

The database files are in the same format as the ones from NDG software.
an entry for a net looks like this:

129.16          57 30n 12e                      #Chalmers University of Tech.

and for a host like this:

128.150.53.1 mbone.cise.nsf.gov 38 52 11n 77 5 59w


Dot color legend:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Green dots have good location information
* Yellow ones has been guessed from the sites' suffix.
* Red ones are unknown.

You can select dots by clicking on them both on the globe and in the list.


Command line options:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

--texture <texture-name.tiff>	Use a custom texture (map). It must be 
				a tiff file.
--LOD <number>			Set the level-of-detail for the sphere.
				(the default is 3, 0-4 is realistic values.)
--version			Print the version number and exit.

(I must have forgotten some people here. Please let me know.)

Mark Kilgard		Wrote GLUT, which I used first, before GTK was trendy.
			Also I have taken a lot of inspiration (as well as
			actual code) from many of the examples in the glut
			distribution.
Brian Paul		Wrote the Mesa graphics library. The examples in that
			distribution also gave me many ideas.
Constantine Thomas	Keeps a nice collection of maps (The default texture
			is from his site.) at
			www.lancs.ac.uk/postgrad/thomasc1/render/maps.htm
AOSASA Shigeru		Wrote gtkGL, a nice GL widget for gtk.
David Blythe		Wrote the sphere-tesselating code I use. I just added
			texture coordinate generation.
The Gtk People		Wrote gtk. Enough said.
Sam Leffler		Wrote libtiff.
NDG software		Wrote GeoBoy, who gave me permission to use and 
			distribute their cachefiles.
Various People		Mailed me good suggestions. Please keep it up.


Other notes:
^^^^^^^^^^^

You might need to change the options for traceroute, on some Red Hat systems. 
(This is only if a simple "traceroute <machine> doesn't work for you. The 
problem is that it apparently sometimes use the wrong interface.)

In that case, look up the traceopts string in main.c, and add whatever you 
need.
