SUNKEY
(ver unknown)
Abandoned Freeware


SUNKEY is a data entry program that accepts Sunspot
Count observation information and outputs in a format 
useable by the American Association of Variable Star 
Observers (AAVSO) Solar Division.  

Output is a text file with the extension ".RAW".  The 
name of the file will be constructed from the entered 
AAVSO Solar Observer ID, followed by the 2-digit year 
and 2-digit month.  If no data file with this name 
exists, it will be created.  If the data file name 
already exists, data will be appended. The data file 
will be in the same directory as SUNKEY.   

If a profile text file "SPROFILE.DAT" is not found in 
the same directory as SUNKEY, you will be prompted to 
enter data to construct the file.  This profile file 
contains header information appended to the data files.  

NOTE: You can enter a fake Solar Observer ID if you only 
use this program for your own purposes.  However if you 
plan on sending the data to the AAVSO, you will need to 
first acquire an unique ID from the AAVSO Solar Division.  

Allthough the DOS version is no longer being updated, 
you can get the latest Windows version from the AAVSO.
