SHAREWARE AND HOW IT WORKS
Shareware is software which is provided to you on a "try before
you buy" basis. It is not free software! Shareware authors request
registration fees from those who try their programs and decide
they will continue to use them. (Shareware authors do not receive
payments from retail stores, disk vendors or BBSs who you may have
already paid a small "distribution" fee to for the program
diskette or downloaded files.) Because Shareware authors do not
have to pay the high cost of advertising, the fees they charge for
registration are modest in comparison to commerically available
programs. The fees also allow them to develop new programs that
may be of interest to you.
With Personal Numerologist Shareware you have the convenience of
trying out the complete program to decide if you want to keep it.
This is not a crippled or demo copy, but the complete working
version of the program. Only if you are satisfied and continue to
use the program do you need to pay for it. You are encouraged to
copy the Personal Numerologist diskette and share it freely with
others.
After you have used Personal Numerologist for a reasonable
evaluation period (not to exceed 60 days) you must either stop
using it or buy a registered copy from Widening Horizons. The
registered copy costs $39 (U.S. funds) plus $6 shipping/handling
for U.S. and Canada and $10 shipping/handling for all other
countries. Registration gives you a LEGAL LICENSE to continue
using the program after the 60 day evaluation period ends, as well
as the following valuable benefits.
o The most current version of Personal Numerologist containing
the latest features that have been added, and without the
shareware reminders.
o An additional module for doing Yearly Forecasts -- the major
influences and opportunities that affect you each year.
o Support for running Personal Numerologist under Windows.
o A complete 42 page, typeset and bound manual with color cover.
o "The Science of Numerology," written by expert numerologist
Matthew Oliver Goodwin. This 10 page resource explains how
numerology works and how to analyze the different names a
person uses. (Goodwin is the author of the text and program
algorithms used in Personal Numerologist as well as the highly
acclaimed, two volume set, "Numerology: The Complete Guide.")
o A $30 credit towards the purchase of Numerologist Report
Writer, our professional report writing program.
o Unlimited, free telephone support.
o Notification of updates to Personal Numerologist.
o New product announcements.
o Periodic special price offers.
iv
For your convenience, a registration form can be printed by
pressing the letter R when on the last screen of the program. This
screen is reached after you exit the program. An order form with
registration information is also included at the end of this
manual and in the CATALOG.DOC file which can be printed by
entering the command, CATALOG C, from the DOS prompt.

PREFACE
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Personal Numerologist is an easy-to-use program that produces
suprising accurate, in-depth personality reports based on names
and birth dates. Professional looking reports run 6 to 8 pages and
reveal the most intimate traits and desires for yourself, friends,
family, lovers and even co-workers.
The program uses an advanced technique to integrate all related
numbers, similar to what a professional numerologist does in a
personal reading. By going beyond the simple "cookbook" approach
as used by other programs, reports are accurate and relevant.
Each report includes detailed descriptions of the Life Path,
Expression, Soul Urge, Birthday, Master Numbers, Repeated Numbers,
Karmic Debts, Karmic and Modified Karmic Lessons and Intensity
Points.
The program is the work of Matthew Oliver Goodwin, the highly
respected numerologist and author of the definitive, "Numerology:
The Complete Guide." An earlier version of Personal Numerologist
was offered in the Selective Software catalog.
USER COMMENTS
The following comments taken from registration cards are typical
of Personal Numerologist users:
"I am very impressed with the reports."
"Great fun to include Personal Numerologist reports for
engagement, wedding and new baby gifts!"
"Your manual is excellent!"
SOFTWARE REVIEWS
The following software reviews are for the professional version of
Personal Numerologist, Numerologist Report Writer. This
commercially sold program produces a report similar to Personal
Numerologist but offers additional features for those planning to
sell reports as part of a small business. (See Appendix C for more
viii
details on this program.) These reviews are included here because
the program designs, interfaces and reports are so similar.
"It's easily the best character analysis type of numerology
report I've seen yet, all things considered. I recommend it
highly."
Richard Nolle, Dell HOROSCOPE
"I ran several names of friends and relatives. Most were
quite surprised that a computer report could detail their
hidden selves so accurately."
Connie L. Faubel, Transformation Times
"This software is written as all software should be, but most
is not. The directions are clear and concise, its ease of use
is no less than phenomenal, and the documentation is the best
I have seen in a long time. Counselors in every field can
find uses for the reports produced."
Carl Ogden, SSC Booknews
"The report's valuable and accurate information is presented
in a style that is easy to understand and synthesizes factors
for you. It is the best numerology program I have ever seen."
Hank Friedman, Todays' Astrologer
COMPANY BACKGROUND
Widening Horizons, Inc. has been in business since 1984 and has
commited its efforts exclusively to the field of numerology,
creating a complete line of sophisticated, easy-to-use programs.
Up to now, these programs were only available commercially.
However, with the introduction of Personal Numerologist, we have
brought our expertise to the shareware world. An earlier version
of Personal Numerologist -- with less features -- was offered in
the Selective Software catalog. Our programs have consistently
received outstanding reviews by the press serving the astrology
and numerology market.

INTRODUCTION
PERSONAL NUMEROLOGIST
The Science of Numerology dates back to the days of Pythagoras --
the famous Greek mathematician, philosopher and father of
numerology. Pythagoras, who developed many of the basic theorems
that form the foundation of modern mathematics (including the
right triangle theorem taught in math classes today) set forth
that man could better comprehend the world he lives in through the
complete understanding of numbers.
Since its discovery, knowledgeable individuals have been using
numerology to enhance their lives. Through its use, they have
gained a new and insightful way to see their untapped potentials,
special abilities and the areas holding them back. By putting this
information to work, they have been able to achieve the happiness,
success and joy of living that is everyone's natural birth right.
Using names and birth dates as the database, numerology provides a
mathematical system for assigning number values to each letter in
the name. Numerous calculations are then made using these letter-
number assignments along with the numbers in the birth date. The
key numbers resulting from these calculations have important
symbolic significance and can be interpreted according to the
science of numerology.
The birth name is the most important of all the names. But, in
numerology, all names are significant. For a complete
numerological analysis it is necessary to look at each name a
person uses. For example, if a person was born Jane Ann Marshall
but now uses Jane Marshall, a complete analysis would be done for
both the names Jane Ann Marshall and Jane Marshall. In this way,
numerology can be used to choose a new name to help in one's
career, to understand the character of a new born baby, to see the
effects of a woman's name change upon getting married or to name a
business enterprise to achieve a desired purpose.
Personal Numerologist provides an easy way for you to access this
amazing science of numerology. Through personalized reports, you
and your family can have a fun and informative tool for learning
about your unique traits and characteristics. And if you want to
learn to do numerology readings on your own, you will find these
well constructed reports to be valuable examples of how to do
interpretations.
1
The actual text that make up the reports was written by Matthew
Oliver Goodwin, a national recognized numerologist and author of
the definitive, "Numerology: The Complete Guide." During a period
of 15 years, while giving thousands of personal readings, he
developed advanced techniques that became the basis for this
program.
Personal Numerologist is fun to use and is intended for the first
time computer user. Knowledge of numerology is not necessary. And
with built in instructions and context sensitive help it is easy
to enter the required data and produce comprehensive reports.
Each report focuses on the personality and describes in detail:
o Life Path -- the major lesson to be learned in life; where
your opportunities for career and personal success are to be
found
o Expression -- your special inborn abilities and talents, and
how to make the best use of them
o Soul Urge -- your inner motivations and desires -- what you
really want from life
o Birthday -- important personality characteristics
o Master Numbers -- special energies indicting spiritual
opportunities and the unique challenges they present
o Repeated Numbers -- life energies that may be out of balance
and how to harmonize them
o Karmic Debts -- difficulties encountered until one learns
how to use an energy that feels unfamiliar to one's nature
o Karmic Lessons -- areas needing attention that once mastered
can enhance one's life
o Modified Karmic Lessons -- similar to Karmic Lessons but
less intense
o Intensity Points -- strengths or weaknesses in the
personality because of too much or too little of a
particular energy
SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
Personal Numerologist is designed to operate on all IBM PC, XT,
AT, PS/1 and PS/2 personal computers and IBM compatibles. The
following is a summary of the requirements to operate the program:
o PC-DOS or MS-DOS version 2.1 or later
o 192KB of memory
o One double sided, double density 5.25" or 3.5" floppy disk
drive or hard disk.
o 80 column display (monochrome, CGA, EGA, VGA, laptop or
notebook)
o 80 column printer (recommended but not required)
2
PRINTER RECOMMENDATIONS
Personal Numerologist will work with any type of printer that
supports 80 columns. However, if you are going to buy a printer
specifically to operate with this program, we recommend a Dot
Matrix printer with 100CPS -- 160CPS print speed. This will give
you the best combination of low cost, high speed and good print
quality.
If your budget allows, Ink Jet printers and Laser printers will
provide an even higher quality output.
The paper used with your printer should be 8.5 inches wide by 11
inches long after removing any tractor feed perforations. Longer
length paper is also supported for use in European countries that
use a different paper size standard.

IMPORTANT NOTES
1. See the README file for installation instructions. This file
can be printed by entering the following command from the DOS
prompt:
README
2. Never work from the original diskette supplied -- the files
are in compressed format. Instead make a working copy of this
diskette by using the INSTALL program, as described in the
README file. (The INSTALL program is not required if the
program was downloaded from a BBS.)
3. For floppy only based systems: do not write protect your
working diskette, as Personal Numerologist must update data
on this disk as part of its normal operation.

USING
PERSONAL NUMEROLOGIST
You are now ready to use Personal Numerologist. This chapter will
cover all aspects of its operation including how to start the
program, how to enter the birth name and birth date information,
how to print a report and more.
If you are new to computers, you will find the following step by
step approach easy to understand. The fastest way to learn,
though, is to try each step on your system as you read along.
After using Personal Numerologist several times, you will find it
easy enough to use without help from this guide.
STARTING UP

the system to respond.
b. (If you are asked to "Enter new date", type in today's date and
press the ENTER key.)
c. (If you are asked to "Enter new time", type in the correct time
and press the ENTER key.)
d. You will then see the symbol, C>, on the left side of the
screen. This is the system prompt and indicates that the
computer is ready for you to proceed.
e. Enter the command CD \PN to enter the sub-directory where
Personal Numerologist files are located.
f. You are now ready to continue.
Once these steps are completed, enter the following command from
the DOS prompt and press the ENTER key to start Personal
Numerologist,
PN
Several seconds after this command is executed, you will be
greeted by a "sign on" display showing the name of the program,
the version number and a copyright message. When "(Press Any Key
To Continue)" appears near the bottom of the screen, press any key
to proceed.
ON LINE INSTRUCTIONS
The first prompt you will see asks:
Do you need INSTRUCTIONS (Y/N)? N
where N is shown as the default option. When you become completely
familiar with the operation of Personal Numerologist you can
simply press the ENTER key for no (since N is the default option).
However, the first time lets answer Y for yes and see what
happens.
A screen of text now appears explaining the capabilities of
Personal Numerologist. At the bottom of the screen is the message:
7
Press END to exit or PGDN for more...
Press the PGDN key and you will see the next screen of
instructions. Continue to press PGDN until you reach the last
screen. If you press PGDN one more time, you will be greeted with
a beep telling you that the last screen of information is already
displayed. Pressing the PGUP key at any time will take you to the
previous screen. If you repeatedly use the PGUP key, a beep will
occur after the first screen is reached. At any time, you can
press the END key to exit the instructions.
Note: The ENTER, ESC and E keys work the same as the PGDN, PGUP,
and END keys respectively. These keys can be used instead if you
prefer to have your hands not leave the main part of the keyboard.
Having access to the instructions while operating Personal
Numerologist can be an added convenience if the User's Guide is
not available when you need it.
HELP DISPLAYS
Besides the built-in instructions, a number of help displays are
available whenever the following message is displayed at the
bottom of the screen:
F1 Help F2 Colors F3 Printers F10 Exit
This message reminds you to press the F1 function key to display
the different help functions available. After pressing this key,
you are presented with four choices:
(P)rompt Help, (E)diting Help, (T)oggle Editing Functions, (R)eturn
Pressing the letter P provides one or more screens of instructions
about the particular prompt you are on. This can be very helpful
the first several times you use Personal Numerologist. For
example, important information on deciding the correct name and
birth date to use are available when at the corresponding prompts.
Pressing the letter E provides information on editing. This is
handy to review when first learning how to use the basic editing
capabilities.
The use of the PGDN, PGUP, and END keys are the same as described
above under Instructions.
In addition to the editing help screens, it is also possible to
display a summary of the editing functions at the bottom of the
screen. This is accomplished by pressing the letter T. To remove
this summary, press F1 and then T again. These two keys toggle the
help summary on and off.
8
If you have selected F1 by mistake, press the letter R or the
ENTER key to exit the help function.
CHANGING SCREEN COLORS
The F2 function key is used to select one of the screen colors
schemes available. After pressing this key, use the Up and Down
arrow keys to select the color scheme you like best. The new
colors will immediately take effect. Once the screen color is
selected, press ENTER to permanently save your choice. Pressing
the ESC key instead will restore the color scheme in effect before
F2 was pressed. This function is even useful if you have a
monochrome display. The first two choices give white text on a
black background and black text on a white background.
NAME AND BIRTH DATE ENTRY
If you answer no to the instruction prompt or have exited from the
instructions, you are asked to:
Please enter the NUMBER of NAMES in Birth or Current Name (1-4): 3
where 3 is the default option. The correct name to use is either
the full name given at birth (usually the name as it exactly
appears on the birth certificate), the full name used today or any
other full name you may have used in the past or are otherwise
known as today.
Respond by entering the number of individual names that make the
full name. For example, if the name being entered is Tom Jones,
enter the number 2. If the name being entered is John Philip
Jones, just press the ENTER key for the default selection of 3.
Additional examples of names, including special cases, are
available through the help function.
The numbers 1-4 shown in parenthesis in the above prompt indicate
that only the numbers 1 through 4 can be entered. If you enter
anything else an error message will be displayed at the bottom of
the screen. If this happens, simply reenter a valid number and
press ENTER.
IMPORTANT NOTE -- Use the help function by pressing F1 and then
the letter P to review important information on entering the birth
name, current name and birth date correctly.
Once the number of names is entered, the next prompt appears:
Please enter the FIRST NAME:
9
Simply type the first name in. Use the editing keys described
later in this chapter if you make a mistake when entering this or
any other response. The ESC key can also be used to return to the
previous prompt if you decide to change an earlier answer.
The number of additional name prompts displayed depends on your
answer to the previous question for the number of names. Enter the
corresponding name to each name prompt that appears.
After the last name is entered, the following display occurs:
The NAME you have entered is --
(the actual name entered is shown here)
Is this correct (Y/N)? Y
where Y is the default option. This gives you an opportunity to
make corrections if any errors are made. If you find an error in
the name, enter N and press the ENTER key or just press the ESC
key to respond again to the previous prompts. If the response to a
particular name prompt is correct, press the ENTER key to accept
it as is. When you reach the prompt with an incorrect answer, type
in the correct name. Use the Spacebar to remove any extra
characters at the end of the name if the new name is shorter than
the previous one entered. Once the name is correct, press ENTER
when the "Is this correct" prompt is displayed.
After the full name is correctly entered, the next prompt appears:
Please enter the MONTH Number of the Birth Date:
A table is displayed above this prompt showing each month number
for the 12 months of the year. Select the number from this table
corresponding to the month of birth as shown on the birth
certificate.
After this number is entered, the following prompt occurs:
Please enter the DAY of the Birth Date:
and then:
Please enter the YEAR of the Birth Date: 19
Enter the day and year from the birth certificate. The YEAR prompt
assumes a birth date in this century. Only the last two digits
need to be entered. However, if the year is in a different
century, use the BACK SPACE key to delete the 9 and enter the
correct year.
10
Once the complete birth date is entered, the following prompt
occurs:
The BIRTH DATE you have entered is '(actual birth date)'
Is this correct (Y/N)? Y
where Y is the default option. As with the name entry, this gives
you a chance to correct any errors that may have been made. When
you are satisfied that the birth date is correct, press ENTER.
Note: It is possible to review and change the name entries after
entering the birth date by pressing the ESC key several times
until:
Please enter the NUMBER of NAMES:
prompt is reached. Pressing the ENTER key will then cycle through
the name entry prompts, showing the previously entered responses.
Any of these can now be changed.
DISPLAYING THE REPORT
After the name and birth date have been entered, the next prompt
displayed is:
Send Report to SCREEN or PRINTER (S/P)? P
Enter S to display the report to the screen. This is useful if you
do not have a printer or want to review the report before
printing it. One screen of information will be displayed at a
time. At the bottom of the first screen is displayed the message:
Press END to exit or PGDN for more...
Continue to press the PGDN key to view each of the screens until
the end of the report is reached. The PGUP key can also be used to
see previous screens. Press END to exit at any time.
After exiting, the following prompt appears:
Do you want a PRINTED Copy (Y/N)? N
If after viewing the report, you decide you want a printed copy,
press Y and then ENTER. Then follow the instructions in the next
section, Printing The Report. If you press N and ENTER, the next
prompt appears:
Do you want to Process another Report (Y/N)? N
Answer Y to enter data for another report or N to exit this
program and return to DOS. (Press ENTER after Y or N.)
11
PRINTING THE REPORT
A printed copy of the report is obtained by typing P and ENTER (or
just pressing ENTER) to the prompt:
Send Report to SCREEN or PRINTER (S/P)? P
After pressing ENTER the next prompt asks whether you are using
continuous or single sheet paper:
Continuous or Single Sheet Paper (C/S)? C
Press ENTER for the default selection of continuous paper. Enter S
if you are going to hand feed individual sheets of paper into your
printer. When each page is done printing, the prompt:
Insert paper and press ENTER to continue
appears at the bottom of the screen. Insert a new sheet of paper
into the printer and press ENTER to print the next page.
After selecting the type of paper you are using, the following
message is displayed:
Ready the Printer and press ENTER
This reminds you to turn the printer on and to correctly align the
paper before printing starts. Press the ENTER key whenever you are
ready to print.
A reminder message is now displayed at the bottom of the screen:
Press ESC to STOP Printer
If it ever becomes necessary to stop the printer before the report
is completed, press the ESC key. As soon as the print buffer is
empty, the printer will stop. This gives you a chance to correct
something that may have gone wrong. A new message will appear at
the bottom of the screen after pressing ESC:
Press END to exit or ENTER for more...
If you want to abandon printing before the report is finished,
press the END key. Pressing the ENTER key will start the printer
again. The following prompt will appear if the END key is pressed:
Do you want to Process another Report (Y/N)? N
At this point you can either exit Personal Numerologist or start a
new report.
12
SELECTING A PRINTER
The F3 function key is used to select the printer type. This
selection only needs to be made once and should be done before the
first report is printed.
HP Laser Jets and compatibles, HP Desk Jets and compatibles, most
other ink jets and all dot matrix printers are supported. After
pressing the F3 function key, use the Up and Down arrow keys to
select the correct printer type. If you are using a dot matrix
printer or a non HP ink jet printer select "All other printers: 64
or more lines/page." If the page number prints at the top of the
page instead of at the bottom, then select "All other printers: 60
- 63 lines/page."
Once the printer is selected, press ENTER to permanently save your
choice. Pressing the ESC key instead will restore the printer type
in effect before F3 was pressed.
EDITING
If you make an error while entering a response and before the
ENTER key is pressed, use the BACK SPACE key to delete the last
characters entered. (The BACK SPACE key is symbolized by a large
left arrow). Each time this key is pressed, one character to the
immediate left of the cursor will be deleted. Repeated use of this
key will delete the entire response. After the error is deleted,
just retype the correct answer.
If you enter more characters then the program accepts for a
particular answer, you will be greeted with a beep. This indicates
that the last character entered was ignored. When this happens,
check your entry and delete enough characters using the BACK SPACE
key to make the answer fit in the allotted space.
Sometimes an incorrect character will be entered. For example, if
any letter other than S or P is entered for the "Send Report to
SCREEN or PRINTER" prompt, a beep will occur and an error message
will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. When this occurs,
make the correction suggested by the error message. If the new
response is correct, the answer will be accepted and the error
message will disappear.
For certain prompts, an incorrect character will not even be
accepted. Instead, you will hear the beep, indicating that you
tried to enter an illegal character. As an example, if you try to
enter a number character while responding to the name prompts or a
letter character while responding to the date prompts, you will
hear this beep.
13
The SPACE BAR key can also be used to remove characters from the
end of a word. Pressing the SPACE BAR enough times removes ALL
characters under the cursor and to the right. This is useful if
you are reentering a shorter response over a longer one already
displayed.
It is also possible, by using the ESC key, to return to a previous
prompt after you have pressed the ENTER key. This is useful if you
realize that a previously entered answer is incorrect. When you
press ESC you are returned to the prompt just answered, usually
with the previous answer being shown. At this point, you have
several options: (1) you can go back one more prompt by pressing
the ESC key again, or (2) you can accept the previous answer as
correct by pressing the ENTER key (this is useful if you want to
see what you previously entered), or (3) you can reenter a new
answer in place of the one displayed.
Many of the prompts you encounter show a suggested answer. If this
is the response you want, just press the ENTER key to accept it.
If you want a different response, type the new answer in and press
ENTER. This makes Personal Numerologist easier and faster to use
by showing the answer it thinks you will most often choose. When
the displayed answer is the correct one, you are saved the effort
of entering it. Instead, just press the ENTER key.

TABLE 1
SUMMARY OF EDITING KEYS
KEY DESCRIPTION

A FAST EXIT
There is one additional time saving function built into Personal
Numerologist -- the F10 function key. Pressing F10 will cause a
beep and a list of options to appear at the bottom of the screen.
This function can be accessed whenever Personal Numerologist is
waiting for a response to be entered. (The only exceptions are
when a report is being displayed to the screen or printer, or help
information is being displayed.)
The options are (E)xit, (S)tart Over or (R)eturn. Press only the
single letter shown in parenthesis to select one of these options.
Do NOT press the ENTER key after entering a response. Table 2
summarizes these options.
------------------------------------------------------------------
TABLE 2
F10 FUNCTIONS
OPTION DESCRIPTION
(E)xit Exits the program immediately. Use this carefully,
as you will lose all the information you have
entered.
(S)tart Returns to the beginning of the program, so you
Over can start again.
(R)eturn If you access the F10 function by mistake, allows
you to return to wherever you were, without taking
any action. This is the default response.
Note: Select an option by pressing the single letter in
parenthesis. Do NOT press the ENTER key.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The F10 function should be used with caution. When Exit is
selected, all information entered will be lost. Entered
information can also be lost when Start Over is selected,
depending on where you are when it is chosen. This function should
only be used when you are certain that the last responses you have
entered are no longer needed.

OTHER PROGRAMS AND BOOKS AVAILABLE
All of the following programs and books were developed and written
by Matthew Oliver Goodwin, the highly respected numerologist and
author of the two volume set, "Numerology: The Complete Guide" and
"1991 The Original Numerology Annual." Goodwin, a graduate of MIT,
spent eighteen years developing his approaches to numerology.
During this time he gave thousands of personal readings which
helped to refine his techniques. In fact, Goodwin developed many
specialized procedures -- which have never been published or used
by others -- just for the Relationship Report Writer, described
below.
Sample reports for each of the following programs can be printed
by entering the command CATALOG from the DOS prompt.
INTIMACY
Produces reports of unprecedented quality that give new insights
into Romantic Relationships using the science of numerology. Each
report is full of practical suggestions that can help couples to
have stronger, more meaningful partnerships. By showing the
dynamic forces at work in the relationship, the reports can help
two people to better understand each other and to improve their
communications together.
Reports run 6 to 8 pages and cover seven important topics:
o Your Adaptability
o Your Sociability
o Your Sensitivity To Your Own And Each Others' Feelings
o Your Ability to Give Love And Affection
o Your Physical Compatibility
o Your Ability To Earn A Living
o Your Mutual Ambitions
This information can help you -- as well as your friends -- to
increase the understanding of your most important relationships,
bringing more peace and fulfillment into your lives.

NUMEROLOGIST REPORT WRITER
This program is the professional version of Personal Numerologist
and is intended for users who want more in-depth reports or want
to start a business to sell the 9 to 17 page printouts.
In addition to the features found in Personal Numerologist,
Numerologist Report Writer provides the following advanced
capabilities:
1. The CHALLENGE, a very influential number that describes a
major obstacle that once overcome can add new dimension to
one's life.
2. The MATURITY NUMBER, describing a powerful lesson that will
bring increased meaning to one's life during the adult years.
3. The CURRENT NAME, combined with the birth name, to give the
total picture of an individual with emphasis on how the name
change has impacted the life.
4. The PERSONAL YEAR, the strong influences and opportunities
that affect a person each year. (This is a more detailed
description than the one contained in the Personal
Numerologist.)
5. The LIFE PATH PERIOD, a significant long term cycle that
describes the general influences and opportunities affecting a
person.
6. The PINNACLE, another important multi-year cycle that
describes additional influences and opportunities affecting a
person.
7. A professional looking cover page that shows who the report is
for, along with six lines you define for your name, address
and anything else you want to personally display. A must for
anyone selling reports for profit.
8. A chart page that follows the cover page, giving a detailed
summary of all the numerological calculations used in the
report. A great way to see all the numbers at once for those
who want to gain a deeper insight from the complete chart.
9. Four report options: personality and progressed, personality
only, progressed only and chart only. This gives you the
ability to sell different reports at different prices to meet
the varying needs of your customers. And a new progressed
report can be offered each year to your existing customers,
providing you with additional income.
10. Up to 10 sets of names and birth dates that can be entered at
one time in batch mode. Each report is then printed
automatically, one after the other, freeing you to do
something else until all reports are done. A valuable time
saver when printing multiple reports.
11. Reports that can be edited using your favorite word processor
before printing. This allows you to add your own personal
thoughts to each report. If you have a favorite number that's
not included in the reports, for example, just go ahead and
add it.
20
12. The individual treatment of the letters Y and W as vowels or
consonants to match whichever system of numerology you are now
using.
13. Advanced editing keys that make it easy to correct mistakes
made during data entry, saving time and trouble.
14. Headings and subheadings that print in bold type which enhance
the look of the reports.
15. A license agreement that includes the RIGHT TO SELL THE
COPYRIGHTED REPORTS in your regional area for profit. Whereas
the Personal Numerologist is meant for personal use with
friends and family, this allows Numerologist Report Writer to
be used in a business.
Software Reviews:
"It's easily the best character analysis type of numerology
report I've seen yet, all things considered. I recommend it
highly."
Richard Nolle, Dell HOROSCOPE
"I ran several names of friends and relatives. Most were
quite surprised that a computer report could detail their
hidden selves so accurately."
Connie L. Faubel, Transformation Times
"This software is written as all software should be, but most
is not. The directions are clear and concise, its ease of use
is no less than phenomenal, and the documentation is the best
I have seen in a long time. Counselors in every field can
find uses for the reports produced."
Carl Ogden, SSC Booknews
"The report's valuable and accurate information is presented
in a style that is easy to understand and synthesizes factors
for you. It is the best numerology program I have ever seen."
Hank Friedman, Todays' Astrologer

RELATIONSHIP REPORT WRITER
This is the professional version of Intimacy and is meant for
users who want more in-depth reports or want to start a business
21
to sell the printouts. The 14 to 18 page reports are intended for
two people romantically involved, giving practical suggestions for
making a stronger, more meaningful relationship.
These reports can help couples to better understand and
communicate with each other by giving them a fresh prospective of
the dynamic forces at work in their relationship. Every report
covers 12 important themes, each of which is divided into three
sections -- one for each of the two individuals and one for the
two of them as a couple.
The topics include:
o First Impressions
o Your Adaptability
o Your Sociability
o Your Relations With Parents, Children and Other Relatives
o Your Sensitivity To Your Own And Each Others' Feelings
o Your Ability To Communicate
o Your Ability to Give Love And Affection
o Your Physical Compatibility
o Your Approach To Material Affairs
o Your Ability To Earn A Living
o Your Mutual Ambitions
In addition, there is a special section that shows the influences
of the current year and how this affects both people -- as
individuals and as a couple. This section shows what each person
needs and how each can be most supportive of the other throughout
the year.
(The same differences between Personal Numerologist and
Numerologist Report Writer, as described above in items 7 through
15, also apply to Intimacy and Relationship Report Writer.)

purchase Relationship Report Writer. This means extra savings if
you ever outgrow Intimacy and decide to upgrade to this more
powerful program at some later time.
THE NUMEROLOGIST, A PROFESSIONAL CALCULATOR
This easy to use program calculates and prints complete numerology
charts (numbers only without interpretations) and is ideal for
anyone who wants to further explore the power of numbers or do
their own interpretations. Page one gives the natal numbers, the
points of intensification, the planes of expression and the
overall cycles, pinnacles and challenges. Optional pages two and
22
three contain the progressions: nine key numbers governing every
year from birth to age 91. For each chart, The Numerologist gives
1065 important numbers you'd otherwise have to hand calculate.
Names and birth dates for up to 25 people can be entered at one
time. The corresponding charts are then automatically printed, one
after the other. In addition, this program supports the systems
used by Matthew Goodwin or Juno Jordan. The Pythagorean, Chaldean
and other numbering systems are also supported. You can change the
numbers assigned to each of the 26 letters and control whether or
not Y or W are treated as vowels or consonants. You can change the
names assigned to the six core numbers, select the number of
pinnacles to use and choose whether to start the progressions at
age 0 or 1. This added flexibility allows you to more closely
match the particular system of numerology you already use.
User Comments:
"I want to formally acknowledge the superior quality and
usefulness of your numerology program. Your program provides
the results quickly and effortlessly. In fact, the resulting
chart is far more extensive than that to which most
professionals in the field normally aspire."
Jerry Barnett
President of Numerology Association International
"Your software makes calculating a batch of names a pleasure.
I can look at half a dozen names now in the time it used to
take me to do the calculations for one. I'm especially
enjoying the ease with which I can have a progressed chart
covering an individual's entire life. Thanks for taking all
the dogwork out of the numerology calculations."
Matthew Goodwin
Author of "Numerology: The Complete Guide"
"Your software has the most easily understood instruction
manual I have encountered. I have had no previous experience
with computers. Upon receiving The Numerologist my wife and I
sat down and ran our charts in 15 minutes without any
problems. Most of all The Numerologist saves time and gives a
professional look to my work. Many thanks for this excellent
value."
William Pegler
Numerologist
NUMEROLOGY: THE COMPLETE GUIDE
