Description:
TimeCalc is a PalmOS application that converts date and time to a variety of time standards: Julian Date, Day of Year, Seconds of Day, and GPS time.
TimeCalc also has some user options for defining special dates and different time zones.
The primary reference time is Universal Time (UT, also known as GMT).
The user options for dates specify the number of days since a given date and is useful for tracking days of a mission, such as the NASA UARS and TIMED satellites that are the default preferences.
The user options for times permits the display of the time in two other time zones besides the primary UT display and is useful for displaying local time.
The TimeCalc.zip file contains the TimeCalc.prc application and a HTML manual for TimeCalc.
