- Install the astrology program as follows:
- Floppy-based systems: Format a blank diskette. Do NOT format a 360K
- diskette with the /s system option, as this option would leave no space
- in which to save charts. Place the distribution diskette in drive A:
- and the formatted diskette in drive B:. Log to drive B: (by entering B:).
-
- Enter COPY A:ASTROL96.EXE When this finishes copying, unarchive the

-
- 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
