Shareware Program Name: ASTROL95
Author: John Halloran
P.O. Box 75713
Los Angeles, CA 90075
Registration Fee: $27.95 (plus $2.00 handling for diskette)
Install the program as follows:
Floppy-based systems: Format a blank diskette. Do NOT format it with
the /s system option, as this option would leave space for only about
50 saved charts and no room in which to run CUSTOM95.COM.
Place the distribution diskette in drive A: and the formatted diskette
in drive B:. Log to drive B: Enter COPY A:ASTROL95.EXE When this
finishes copying, enter COPY A:*.AST When these finish, enter COPY
A:CUSTOM95.COM Now place your DOS system diskette in drive A: and
enter COPY A:SORT.EXE If you have a printer that supports graphics,
enter COPY A:GRAPHICS.COM You are finished creating the working
diskette. Each time you want to run the program, boot the computer
with your system diskette in A:, log to drive B: where you have the
astrology working diskette, and start the program by entering ASTROL95
Hard disk-based systems: from your root directory create a directory
for the program - enter MD ASTROL then change to this directory by
entering CD\ASTROL Place the program distribution diskette in drive
A: and enter COPY A:ASTROL95.EXE When this finishes copying, enter
COPY A:*.AST When these finish, enter COPY A:CUSTOM95.COM Make sure
the PATH statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in your root directory
includes the directory that has the SORT.EXE and GRAPHICS.COM files,
or else copy these DOS system files to the ASTROL directory. You are
finished installing the program. Each time you want to run the
program, boot up the computer, enter CD\ASTROL, and start the program
by entering ASTROL95
The instructions and documentation for the astrology program are
contained in the HELPn.AST files which are accessed from the Program
Assistance menu inside the program. They are in ASCII format and
can be printed to your printer with the DOS PRINT command if you
want a printed copy of the documentation. You can find information
regarding printing the graphic chartwheel to your printer in the
file GRAPHICS.DOC on the distribution diskette. Users who have a
Hercules monographics card instead of a color graphics card will find
information of interest to them in the file HERCULES.DOC.
The program is written in compiled Microsoft Basic and operates on
all IBM-compatible personal computers that have at least 256K RAM.
If you have only 256K, boot the computer with MS-DOS, version 2.
New users can obtain a registration code for ASTROL95 by sending
a check or money order for $27.95 to the author at the above address.
Enter your registration code at the Program Registration screen each
time you start up the program. The registration code is not hard-
coded into your program copy. The program calculates the correct
registration code from the name that you enter. Enter the code
without spaces between the letters and numbers. You can permanently
save your registration code by running the CUSTOM95.COM program, for
which see CUSTOMIZING THE PROGRAM at the PROGRAM ASSISTANCE menu
inside ASTROL95.
There is upward compatibility between versions of the astrology program
with respect to saved charts. Saved charts from versions prior to 9.5
will not have the moon's nodes, Part of Fortune, house system name,
type of zodiac, or Remarks field, but the saved information should
retrieve and display correctly.
Saved charts are stored on files CHART.AST and POINTER.AST. If you are
upgrading from an earlier version, copy these two files from your old
working diskette to your new working diskette. These files are not on
the distribution diskette. They are created when the user first saves
a chart to file.
