Digital Dragon's I Ching program won't shake up the world of I Ching scholarship. But for those who don't have the patience or time for using more traditional methods, this modest program does a good job of throwing a computerized I Ching. The "throwing" is accomplished by moving and clicking the mouse 6 times within a simulated lo-pan. The (uncredited) interpretations/translations are short and simple. For example, number twenty-eight, Ta Kuo, is interpreted as,
Preponderance of the Great. The ridgepole sags to the breaking point. It furthers one to have somewhere to go. Success.Changing line interpretations are shown by clicking on the line. Results of the lo-pan and the text can be printed. Those interested in writing their own simple programs may want to look at how the writers effectively utilized the "help" section of Windows as the basis of Digital Dragon.
So its not the most complete program around. But hey! sometimes you just want to put your feet up on the desk and get a quick flash on what the I Ching has to say.
Installation was easy into Windows 3.11.
