- LONG DESCRIPTION: The I Ching, or Book of Changes, one of the classics of
- Chinese literature, is a book of divinations originating in antiquity. Its
- poetic messages are used for both fortune-telling and their insight into
- humanity's role in the natural world. By tossing coins or sticks, you
- create a pattern of six lines to form a hexagram for interpretation. The
- "yin and yang" philosophy of the I Ching is ideally suited to the "yes and
- no" or "0 and 1" mentality of the computer and its ability to generate
- number patterns. Select the traditional yarrow-stick method, coin-toss,
- Computer's Choice, or build your own. You can edit the text for each
- hexagram, so that the readings can incorporate your favorite translation
- and commentaries. You can also add your own comments separately from the
- regular text, and choose whether or not to include them in the readings.
- Readings can be printed, or saved on disk for reference and editing.
