SalatTimes 2.6
SalatTimes is a PC Windows (95, 98, 2000 and NT) program for calculating Islamic Prayer Times for any location on the globe and for the time interval from year -2000 BC to 6000 AD. The program also calculates the instance of New Moon, rise, transit and set times for the moon. In addition it provides Qibla direction, the distance to Mecca and converts between Islamic and Julian-Gregorian calendars. The program has a timer function to play sound file when certain prayer occurred and to notify users about next coming prayer. Focus has been made on providing as accurate calculations as possible. In fact the calculation model used in the program is more powerful than needed for the particular problem.

SalatTimes requires Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT 3.5 or later (running on at least Intel x86 based system). Math coprocessor is needed but not mandatory. If Salat Timer is to be active then a sound playing capability (e.g. sound card) should be available.
