- Version 2.02 - August 2, 1991
- -----------------------------
-
- I have received requests for changing the printout style of the
- chartwheel in systems having CGA graphics. My old method was to
- draw an elliptical chartwheel, thereby using standard height
- numbers, letters and characters. Now, you have the option of
- specifying a circular chartwheel printout which gives double
- height numbers, letters and characters. Options #28 and #29 in
- the file called OPTIONS.FIL allow you to choose your preference.
- This option only affects users who have CGA graphics.
-
- The file called OPTIONS.FIL contains 2 newly specified options.
-
- DEFAULT
- VALUE OPTION CATAGORY (Opt = Option)
- ----- ------------------------------
- 75 ;Opt #28 - Printer code after ESC for SINGLE DENSITY GRAPHICS
- 0 ;Opt #29 - CGA chartwheel - 0 = circular, 1 = elliptical
-
- I added time zone data to the chartwheel display.
-
- For all of you interested in saving your chartwheel display
- screens to disk for later retrieval, there is a shareware program
- called GRABBER that will allow you to save and rename any graphics
- chartwheel display screen (or any screen, for that matter) so that
- you can re-display it any time by simply typing the name you
- assign it. I use this program frequently and am a registered
- shareware user. You may write to the author Gerald A. Monroe,
- 1241 Bunts Road, Lakewood, Ohio 44107 for more information. The
- registration price is $20 plus $4 postage and handling. Several
- other programs are included beside Grabber.

- Version 2.01 - June 21, 1991
- ----------------------------
-
- I fixed a bug in the planetary hour routine that caused the
- program to give incorrect day and hour rulers under some
- circumstances where time of day was before midnight and local mean
- time was after midnight or vice-versa.
-
-
- Version 2.00 - May 17, 1991
- ---------------------------
-
- I fixed a bug that caused 1.5 chartwheels to be printed instead of
- 1. This is for Hercules graphics mode ONLY.
-
-
- Version 2.00 - May 3, 1991
- --------------------------
-
- I have rewritten the planetary routines so that any conflicts with
- others' "proprietary" planetary routines no longer exist.
- HORARY.EXE planets' positions are exact within 1 minute (2 minutes
- for Mars and Saturn, 3 minutes for Pluto and 15 minutes for True
- North Node) for all dates 1900 - 2000 (and perhaps beyond).
-
- You can now "shell" out to DOS from the main menu. When done, type
- "EXIT", <ENTER> to return to Horary Helper. This option allows you
- to check, change or read other files (including OPTIONS.FIL) or
- directories without exiting Horary Helper.
-
-
- NOTE: Regarding OPTIONS #24 - #27:
-
- If your screen continually flashes when entering data and the
- program locks up, then you will know that you have entered invalid
- data value(s) for options #24 - #27 in your OPTIONS.FIL file.
- Please make sure that your values for these options are correct as
- the program does limited error checking in the automatic mode.
- Try a practice chart first to make sure that the data you want
- entered automatically is the way you want it and in the correct
- format.
