Conference hydra::dejavu

    There is one that is freeware on Pcs and clones called Astro 3.1.
    I'll see if I can get a copy of it.

    I have a small catelog of astrology software from a company that
    specializes in such, but the programs are geared primarily for use
    by Astrologers and are fairly expensive ($100 - $400).  If you want
    more info let me know and I will look up the information for you.

RE:  .1

     Do you know if this is available on the network anywhere?  If so,
     Where?

     Thanks,
     Terry
  

    I copied a program from someone in this conference, I can't find
    the note as to where I or who I copied it from. The file was
    ASTROL.FOR;1, could the person please send me mail as to who
    it was. I type at the $ RUN ASTROL.EXE;1 to start the program,
    but after I enter the Birth Data, I only get asked if I want to
    enter New Birth Data, and I don't know how to get the actual
    Birthchart printed out. 
    
    Could that somebody send mail and send help!
    
    Thanks,

    I'm using the program.  It's really great but I agree that
    it lacks a bit of information, although it's really
    easy to use:
    
    just type
    
    $ Run ASTROL
    
    then you have to enter your data exactly in the requested format:
    you must put zeros if your figures are smaller than the
    ones in the example: eg: I'm born in Geneva which is 46n30 and 5E50
         but I must enter the data ghe following way: 46n30 005E50
    
    When the system prompts you for New Birth Data, it has in
    fact alredy processed your data in a file called CHART.DAT
    
    So, you press CTRL/Y to exit the astrol program, and then
    
    $ print/que=..... CHART.DAT

     Re: last few, where can I copy this program into my account??

    The program I refered to in .1 is shareware. I have it in my account
    now. Try getting it at:
    
                   Nexus::disk12:[morgan.lunanet]astr31.arc
    
    Astr31.arc is 246k long (how's your disk quota?). It seems to be a very
    good program written by David Rice, a regular contributor on MagickNet.
    It features color, exploding boxes, and a few charts for famous
    persons such a Mickey Mouse and Charles Manson.
    
    It probably requires CGA and runs on IBM and compatables. If you
    copy it please send me a short blurb saying that you copied it. 

    OK, I copied it over onto my IBM compatible - now how do I get it
    to run?  All I get is an error message saying something along the
    lines of "not configured to run".

    Well for starters try de-archiving the file with arc521.com or
    Narcxx.exe. After you get the program de-arced then read the
    documentation. To get a feel of the program type "menu" at the dos
    prompt. That will start the program.
    
    There may be a configuration program in the archive. I don't use
    it so I can't give anymore real advice.

    You can get a copy of narcxx.arc or arc521.com and tons of other
    software for PeeCees and compatables from:
    
    		cscmas""::sys$msdos:[*]
    
    at last count there was over 1800 programs in this account.
    
    Personally I use narc21.exe which is menu driven. Try it you'll
    like it.

    Once you get used to the US way of writing dates it works great!!!
    
    I had a hand-written chart from some time ago somewhere, so I'll
    have to dig it out and do a comparison.  Now all I have to do is
    work out my Lat and Long!
    
    One question - when I was born, we were on DOUBLE daylight saving.
    How can I configure this into the input screen?

    Reply to .11, Brian,
    
    I guess you would add or subtract two hours...

    The following is compliments of Mike (CSC32::MORGAN) Morgan who took
    the time (over an hour) to load the program down from a BBS.

-----------------------------------
    
      There have been a couple requests for an astrology program
 that will run on PCs and Clones.

      Well here it is. It's David Rice's latest shareware
 offering--ASTRO 5.0. It's a monster program that takes up 538804
 bytes unpacked.

      It's a nicely written program with professional looking menus
 and easy setup. It is good? I don't know. I'm not an astrologer.
 You try it and decide for yourself.

      You'll need a copy of pkunzip to unpack the program. It takes
 591 blocks of VMS diskspace and the zipped file is 302509 bytes
 long.
 	
----------------------------
    
    It's located in: VITAL::astro50.zip
    	
    You'll also need pkunzip.exe from the same directory if you don't
    already have it.
 	

    > You'll also need pkunzip.exe from the same directory if you don't

    You can get the whole PKZIP everything from 

       CSCMAS::SYS$MSDOS:[ZIP]*.*  (copy in the evening or they'll hunt
                                    you down, I'm told)

    It contains a self-unzipper (pkz102.exe).  Load it and run it.  It
    will create all the pkunzip programs and documentation.  They you can
    unzip the astro50 stuff.
