Shareware Installation Instructions: ------------------------------------ The Astrology for Windows program, version 2.3, comes in a self-extracting Windows executable - ASTWIN23.EXE. Once you have downloaded this program to your computer, double-click from Explorer on the file. The WinZip extraction program will confirm that you want to extract all the files to the C:\WINASTRO directory, which it will create for you. The final act of the extraction process is to run the INSTALL1.EXE program - this will ask in which of the 13 available languages you want your program to be and will add the Halloran Software program group and astrology item icons to your Windows desktop [you yourself can rerun the INSTALL1.EXE program in the future]. In Windows 95/98, select Start, Programs, Halloran Software and click on the moon icon item in order to run the Astrology for Windows program. Troubleshooting --------------- If during installation you get a message that a file cannot be copied, it may be because that file or an older version of it is in use. Restart Windows and close any programs like screen savers which are in your Windows start-up. Then rerun the Astrology for Windows installation. If you get a message that a VBX file (such as GRID.VBX, COMMDLG.VBX, or THREED.VBX) is out of date, this is usually because an outdated file is in your Windows directory. If a more recent version is in your Windows\System directory or in the astrology directory, then disable the file in the Windows directory by renaming it (e.g., with *.SAV instead of *.VBX) and copy the latest version to the Windows\System directory. Then restart Windows and try to run our program again. Welcome to the Program ---------------------- Astrology for Windows and its parent AstrolDeluxe for Windows are able to do amazing things that are only possible within the Windows environment. These programs give you better color printing than any program for the DOS environment. The drop-down list boxes provide convenient access to data such as your saved charts, geographic data, and time zones. Other list boxes let you scroll natal and transiting aspects and copy this text data to the Windows clipboard. You can use the clipboard to copy and paste the planet and house positions in numerical form into a Windows spreadsheet. Via the clipboard, you can paste graphic wheels into resizable frames in a Windows word processor. The program will even automatically resize the detailed color Atlas maps, the graphic chart displays, and the Natal Information screen for whatever screen resolution you have Windows set. Astrology for Windows includes context-sensitive Windows Help. This means that help specific to any point in the program is available just by pressing the F1 function key. If you want to read the manual, select Contents. To search for help on a specific program area, select Search and type in the name of the desired function or topic. Select File and Print from the Windows Help menu to print any one topic for later reference.
