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THREED.VBX) is out of date, this is usually because an outdated file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.
