ASTROLOGY PROGRAMS
****************************************************************************
This section is dedicated to the late Andy Osborne. Andy died suddenly in
February 1991. He was responsible with Danielle Le Marais for producing
almost all the programs in this section. His dedication to the ST community
and the Public Domain, Shareware and Licenseware concepts were second to
none. Although many programs on these disks offer upgrades and printed
manuals for a nominal fee, I would be grateful if you could disregard these
references under the circumstances and instead make any donations you see
fit to the Asthma Foundation at the request of his mother. It should be
noted that many (but not all) of these programs are restricted demos and it
is obviously impossible to obtain the full versions now. For those of you
who are serious about astrology, we recommend Budgie's Astrology on disk
BUDUTL.12C which is a complete comprehensive work by Andy and Danielle which
was finished shortly before his death.
****************************************************************************
AST.01 BURMESE - A Burmese Astrology program. You must autoboot this disk
in order for the customised fonts to work. CHINESE - A Chinese Astrology
program designed for use with Derek Walters' books. FORECAST - An
extensive program for producing lengthy horoscope texts. A useable demo
which only works for March-May 1991. HOROACC - An ACC which will produce
daily horoscopes. Saves your birth data to disk to avoid re-typing each
day. Chinese is colour only. The others run in med or high res.
AST.02 ASTRO 22 v1.3 - An extensive astrology program by D K Wilkinson. On
this disk is a starter program which accurately calculates the position of
the planets, cusps and zodiac positions to within 30 seconds of arc. Add on
modules are already available direct from the author. Has the ability to
calculate natal charts. For professional and amateur astrologers alike. This
is a later version of the program on UTL.285. Containing both colour and
mono versions of the program.
AST.5610 ASTROLOG V5.20 by Walter Pullen - The ST version of a cross-
platform astrology program. This package is very comprehensive to say the
least. It calculates the positions of the planets on any given date,
computes ephemeris tables, biorhythm charts, relationship charts and astro-
graph charts (all charts can be saved in graphic format). It uses positions
of over 40 fixed stars, over 170 Arabian parts and their formulae, tropical
and sidereal zodiac and much more. This is not a 'fortune telling' program,
but a scientific approach to the entire subject of astrology from a
mathematical and scientific perspective. Astrolog is extensively documented
but not really intended for the novice due to the fact that it is command
driven rather than GEM based (although the Help file can be called up at any
time). Needs 1 Mb.
UTL.284 CONVERTS - Enables data files to be created from astrological
programs written by Oracle Consultations. DOMINOES - Uses dominoes for
divining. MIDPOINTS - Examines the sensitive points of the horoscope in
between two planets based on the research of Ebertins. MINOR ASPECTS -
calculates the lesser used but equally important minor aspects of Western
Astrology. FIXED STARS - Takes into account all 73 fixed stars in
horoscopes, as in Chinese astrology. HARMONICS - Taken from Hindu astrology
and based on research by John Addey. I-CHING - An update of the program on
UTL.233. Answer questions using the ancient Chinese way of divining.
CONVERT - Allows you to create your own data for use with astrology programs
written by Oracle Consultations. ASTROTUT - A tutorial program which takes
you through the basics of astrology. Programs by Andy Osborne.
UTL.285 ARABIAN PARTS - Works out about fifty of the most common parts used
in Arabian astrology. ASTROLOGY 1 - A comprehensive program covering most
aspects of Western astrology (including the ability to create natal charts).
ASTROPIX - Six birthcharts for famous people (in PC2 format) which were
calculated using Astrology 1. AZTEC - Converts dates from the Western
calendar to the Aztec calendar and gives limited interpretation. DECANATES
- Calculates a natal chart and its decanates from a data file created by
Convert (also on the disk with some sample data files). Decanates are
divisions of traditional zodiac signs which show how typical you are of your
sign. BIORHYTHMS - An update to the program on UTL.227. This version is
fully functional with the exception that it cannot print out and that it
only gives charts for 1991. ASTRO_22 - A starter program which accurately
calculates the position of the planets, cusps and zodiac positions to within
30 seconds of arc. This is an earlier version of the programs on AST.02 and
is mono only. The other programs are colour only. Astro_22 is by D K
Wilkinson, the others are by Andy Osborne.
