As a general rule all prerelease versions should be used for testing purposes only. Most new features are only partially implemented. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please report any problems with the software and your ideas for improvement to the developer. Thanks for participating! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! New in TP50 ----------- The primary reason for this release is to provide a fix for a bug in the automatic chart analysis. The bug was semantic, in the sense that the code did what it was supposed to do, but still not exactly what was originally intended. The effect was that integrity for charts with undignified sign placements saw a boost that was proportionately greater than for those with dignified sign placements. Some other changes and additions have also been made, but nothing major. The bigger and better release is still ahead. * ACA: The automatic chart analysis module has been improved. Fixed a semantic bug in the substitution algorithm that increased dignified influence for less than fully dignified sign placements beyond the essential dignity of the planet in the sign. This had a proportionately greater effect on less dignified placements than for more dignified, thus changing the code to never go beyond the essential dignity limit has increased statistical significance. It also means that the integrity score should never be able to exceed the total chart influence minus debased influence. The atmakaraka, the planet who has advanced the furthest in any sign, is now presented next to the Sankhya Yoga for the current chart. You can also choose "Atmakarakas" from the "Stats" menu to see the atmakaraka distribution for the currently selected group of charts. Only the 7 classical planets can become atmakarakas in this release. The effect of cuspal placement has been decreased in general and also changed for the Sun, Venus, Mars and Saturn, so that the Sun and Mars are less cusped in so called infancy, ie placement very early in a sign, and Venus and Saturn are less cusped in old age, or very late in a sign. The exact implemention will change in the next release, but the general idea will be the same as this has shown positive statistical effect. The full range of this factor is still 15 degrees, but the practical effect is minute until a planet comes closer than about five degrees from a cusp. The effect of combustion and planetary wars should now vary more depending on the planets involved. In general the outcome can be more benign, unless the planets are completely antagonistic. In some cases a so called war or even combustion can improve the dignity of a planet. This can be the case if the losing planet is undignified in the sign it is in. Influence chaining (introduced in the previous release) matter less in this release, but still serves to give the charts that need it greater inferiority scores, such as that for serial rapist and probable serial killer Anthony Sowell. In the next release, which will incorporate the atmakaraka as an important factor, his chart may see an even greater inferiority score, it already exceeds 70. A bug in the influence chaining routine has also been fixed, very slightly improving statistical significance. The changes in this release has improved statistical significance for a lot of values including the integrity score, but also debasement (lack of essential dignity), polarization (secondary instead of primary dignity in sign), and cuspal placement in particular. For the first time there are now charts in the control group scoring in the highest category. The ordering of individual charts has also changed in many places, or their distance has increased as is the case for the charts of actress Sandra Bullock and dictator Hu Jintao, where the chart for the more sympathetic actress now scores 17,04 (up from 14,38) and the chart for the less sympathetic dictator only 9,07 (down from 9,59).

The most notorious war criminals, scam artists, sociopaths, sadists, mass-murderers, and serial killers already easily satisfy this condition: Henry Kissinger (9,55 & 56,25 => 5,89), Adolf Eichmann (5,23 & 47,61 => 9,10), Bernard Madoff (1,88 & 30,44 => 16,2), Bill Gates (4,09 & 70,35 => 17,2), Tzipi Livni (2,53 & 85,85 => 33,9), Marquis de Sade (1,39 & 52,80 => 38,0), Timothy McVeigh (1,69 & 75,20 => 44,5), Harold Shipman (1,46 & 90,33 => 61,9), Ted Bundy (0,87 & 72,03 => 82,8). In this release Kissinger does not qualify, but since his atmakaraka is Mars he will have no trouble fitting the bill in the next release. With this release only three dictators score above average for the control and most score in the Orange or lower. The top three charts belong to Mao Zedong (23,75; 5,27; 67,14), Fidel Castro (18,46; 26,56; 53,08) and Francisco Franco (10,57; 47,21; 40,32). All the remaining charts score below the average for the control. Three charts score in the Yellow category: Hu Jintao's (9,07; 81,77; 4,68), Benito Mussolini's (7,32; 88,07; 1,82), and Josef Stalin's (6,93; 32,47; 57,60). Two charts score in the Orange, Adolf Hitler's (4,76; 79,59; 12,81) and Vladimir Lenin's (3,53; 9,81; 85,51), and another two in the red, Pol Pot's (1,67; 86,47; 11,43) and Hosni Mubarak's (1,32; 53,42; 44,73). The remaining charts score in the Black: Omar al-Bashir's (0,60; 47,93; 51,41), Ho Chi Minh's (0,53; 78,98; 20,32) and Kim Jong-il's (0,23; 54,13; 45,47). The control group includes a subgroup of 106 judges consisting of all the supreme court justices of the United States at the time of building the control. Its average integrity score is 10,54 with a category average of 3,85. 35,85% of the charts score in the Gray or higher categories. The test group has the following subgroups of at least 100 charts: 235 registered sex offenders (7,08; 48,82; 41,07); 244 past and present inmates on Alabama deathrow (7,58; 51,76; 37,54); 100 white female murderers (8,53; 47,67; 39,98); 105 assorted serial rapists and killers (6,95; 50,65; 39,39); and 189 people convicted of first degree murder (7,57; 49,85; 39,46). One subgroup scores well above average for the test group as a whole: The charts for 92 people in prison for fraud have an average integrity score of 8,86. Following this release three planned major improvements remain to be implemented. Two will impact all charts: A redesign of the Sankhya Yoga analysis and incorporation of the atmakaraka. The third will only affect a select group of charts. It targets planetary wars in the same sign as the Sun, which are not greatly or fully affected by combustion. In this and previous releases such wars are practically ignored as only the Sun is recorded as the winner. The charts affected by the necessarily much more complex code change are quite few. A short list includes the charts for the following people: Richard Nixon, Charles Manson, Adolf Hitler, Thomas Watt Hamilton and Theodore Kaczynski. In the case of Nixon's chart the change will have little effect in absolute terms as his chart already scores in the Red, while it may have great effect on the chart for the Una Bomber as the planetary war involves the sankhya yoga ruler and the chart's current score puts it in the upper Gray. If you come across any other charts that score too high - or too low - please let me know! I would be especially happy to learn of any timed charts scoring in the Black or Red that should score in Yellow or higher, as well as of any charts in the Blue or higher categories that should feel better at home below Green. In particular I know of no charts for serial killers that score in the Blue or higher using this preview. --------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER REGARDING ACCURACY FOR INDIVIDUAL CHARTS The initial purpose of the automatic chart analysis system has been to test the effectiveness of various astrological factors. For this reason some implementations may work well for statistical purposes, but may be too simplistic to yield accurate results for all individual charts. The war factor is an example of a simplified implementation, which, by simply assuming the brightest planet in a sign to be the winner, can seriously underestimate the effect of multi-party wars under some circumstances. Dispositor chaining is an example of another factor that can be implemented in different ways with sometimes very different outcomes for individual charts. Currently it uses a mix of weakest link, as well as the product of all links. Finally, different settings for the relative influences of the various objects may impact a few charts greatly. ------------------------------------------------------- ------------- USER ADVISORY This software-implemented chart analysis is not intended to replace human interpretation. It has been designed to be an objective aid and should only be a complement to a full analysis by a Priest or similarly qualified person. Astrological charts are too complex to ever be completely digested by any automatic system of analysis. In the case of this particular software it is still in its most early design stage and it will see signifcant changes - even in the very next release! The current implementation is also limited to so called essential indications (independent of location) and does not consider the just as important accidental indications, such as the Ascendant. In addition to integrity above average, a qualified Priest/Astrologer can have at least three possible supporting or enabling accidental indications: Aquarius rising sign (sidereal), Saturn or Uranus in the First house (tropical zodiac, sidereal houses), and finally also the ruler of the First house situated in the First house itself. ----------------------- New in TP49 ----------- * ACA: The automatic chart analysis module has been improved. Fewer than half of the control charts show up in the first three categories. A goal for the pre-alpha will be to have more than half of the control charts score in Yellow or higher category, at least a third in Gray or higher, and fewer than one tenth in the Black. This release meets the first two goals and also manages to push down the number of control charts in the Black category from over 14% in TP39 to just under 11%. Fixing a bug inadvertently reducing dignified influence more than was intended for some charts with Pasa yoga or lower sankhya yogas has contributed to this reduction. Also other improvements to the sankhya yoga algorithm, as well as to most of the other factors have contributed greater statistical significance. The essential dignity of the Sun has increased in importance. If the Sun enjoys zero dignity then all the planets will be reduced to their minimum power (brightness), which will affect their dignity, strength and susceptibility to the chaining effect. For a fully dignified Sun this change has no effect. The retrogradation subfactor of essential dignity and strength in sign, which could boost these values for retrograde Jupiter and Saturn, no longer depends on velocity (direct/retrograde motion), but instead considers estimated brightness based on elongation. The brighter the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) the greater the boost to dignity and strength. Conversely, below average brightness can reduce the same values. Since the charts for criminals in the test group tend to have these planets darker than the charts for public figures in the control, this feature has good statistical effect. The range of the cuspal factor, or strength in sign, has been extended to its maximum 15 degrees (up from 12 degrees), while the overall effect has been toned down leaving less influence cusped than in TP39. The scorching factor, or combustion in general speak, now kicks in later than before, but also grows more quickly on approach towards the Sun. This change has meant a slight increase in scorched influence and a very clear increase in statistical significance. A new feature is called influence chaining, which is a recursive process which passes on received (primarily undignified, but also some dignified) influence in the same way innate influence is transferred through the regular substitution process. Only objects with some innate influence can retain received influence. This feature has mixed impact on statistical significance, but serves to give the charts that need it greater inferiority scores, such as that for serial rapist and probable serial killer Anthony Sowell. The outcome of the sankhya yoga algorithm is now more predictable from the Numbered diagnostic. A value below 50 predicts a possible increase in dignified influence. A value above 50 always results in decreased influence if possible. With this revision the sankhya yoga ruler has strength to retain some dignified influence. This has boosted the integrity score for Albert Einstein's chart from red to orange. Compared to the unofficial bug fix release (TP48) the increase in statistical significance is minute. Instead the major statistical change in this release is the increase of the number of charts scoring in the Gray and higher categories. The ordering of individual charts has also changed in many places. One example is the order reversal of the charts for actress Sandra Bullock and dictator Hu Jintao, where the chart for the more sympathetic actress now scores above average (14,38) and the chart for the less sympathetic dictator now scores below average (9,59).

Integrity < 1 => 1. Black Integrity < 3 => 2. Red Integrity < 6 => 3. Orange Integrity < 10 => 4. Yellow Integrity < 20 => 5. Gray Integrity < 33,3 => 6. Green Integrity < 50,0 => 7. Blue Integrity < 70,0 => 8. Indigo Integrity < 100,1 => 9. Violet This results in an easy to remember number series (1,2,3,4) for the ranges covered by the first four categories now representing integrity scores below average for the C715 public control group. The TP49 chart distribution by category, using the integrity limits listed above, is as follows: C715 T1080 1. Black (%): 10.63 11.20 2. Red (%): 15.52 22.87 3. Orange (%): 19.44 21.48 4.

Violet (%): 0.00 0.00 --------------------- ----- Five+ (%): 37.34 26.85 Obviously this categorization is very rough and there will be many individual differences that can be discerned by looking at the influence distribution over planets, as well as factors outside of astrology, including, but not limited to status of parents, country and cultural setting, etc. Astrology can predict a bad childhood, but the exact details will of course vary with the context. There are also additional astrological factors such as timing, which determine if a given potential can materialize or not. For extreme sociopaths the integrity score should fall into the Orange or a lower category and the inferiority score be at least five times as great as the integrity score, or alternatively the inferiority score be at least six times as great as the integrity score. The most notorious war criminals, scam artists, sociopaths, sadists, mass-murderers, and serial killers already easily satisfy this condition: Henry Kissinger (9,61 & 59,60 => 6,20), Adolf Eichmann (3,26 & 42,81 => 13,1), Marquis de Sade (2,01 & 29,97 => 14,9), Bernard Madoff (2,26 & 44,90 => 19,9), Tzipi Livni (3,60 & 72,02 => 20,0), Bill Gates (1,83 & 93,39 => 51,0), Harold Shipman (1,36 & 91,16 => 67,0), Timothy McVeigh (1,11 & 91,29 => 82,2), and Ted Bundy (0,72 & 96,37 => 134). With this release only three dictators score above average for the control and most score in the Red. The top three charts belong to Fidel Castro (31,0; 21,0; 44,9), Mao Zedong (23,6; 14,3; 58,1) and Francisco Franco (11,7; 41,8; 43,7). All the remaining charts score integrity below the average for the control. Two charts score in the Yellow category: Hu Jintao's (9,6; 76,2; 8,5) and Josef Stalin's (6,9; 25,1; 64,8). Four charts score in the Orange: Adolf Hitler's (4,9; 84,7; 7,5), Benito Mussolini's (4,8; 88,5; 4,7), Vladimir Lenin's (4,1; 20,9; 72,2) and Pol Pot's (3,8; 77,2; 17,8). The remaining charts score in the Red: Kim Jong-il's (1,7; 40,2; 56,6), Hosni Mubarak's (1,5; 29,7; 68,3), Ho Chi Minh's (1,1; 55,7; 60,2) and Omar al-Bashir's (1,0; 42,4; 56,4). The control group includes a subgroup of 106 judges consisting of all the supreme court justices of the United States at the time of building the control. Its average integrity score is 10,64 with a category average of 3,9. 39,62% of the charts score in the Gray or higher categories. The test group has the following subgroups of at least 100 charts: 235 registered sex offenders (7,3; 48,5; 40,4); 244 past and present inmates on Alabama deathrow (7,8; 51,6; 36,9); 100 white female murderers (8,5; 49,3; 37,6); 105 assorted serial rapists and killers (7,3; 50,7; 38,2); and 189 people convicted of first degree murder (7,8; 49,3; 39,2). One subgroup scores well above average for the test group as a whole: The charts for 92 people in prison for fraud have an average integrity score of 9,0.

Some primary and secondary essential dignities have been switched, see Help/Planets for a listing of all essential dignities. You can change these using the same command-line options as in the original Astrolog software. The Moon's programmatic influence has been increased again. The Moon was already in the previous release by far the most important object, but its weight is now even greater, improving statistical significance. Currently the Moon carries about four times the actual influence of the average planet (its own influence plus that of its accidental rulership based on its sign aspect with the Sun). Only the Moon has this programmatic influence increase. All the other objects carry the exact influences shown in the Object settings dialogs. The analysis module has been tested for effectiveness using the same test and control groups as used with the previous releases. The average integrity score for the criminal test group is now 79% of that of the average for the control group, which is down from about 86% in TP22. A new diagnostic has been added to independently track the effect of placement in primary and secondary dignity. A placement is recorded as Polarized when having secondary essential dignity. In theory this should indicate the womanly complement. Placement in primary dignity should indicate manly qualities. For sexuality Mercury should be the most important planet. For love and erotica it is Venus that rules. Libido is indicated by Mars. You get the picture. Initial testing using mostly untimed charts for 196 lesbians yields a Polarized average of 49,69. The corresponding figure produced using mostly untimed charts for 244 homosexual males is 52,38. The expanded analysis output for the control and test groups using program defaults (7 planets plus the lunar nodes) is as follows: C715 T1080 IH AH Influence: 64.25 63.59 84.21 62.67 -------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- Debased (%): 50.50 51.36 4.51 65.92 Polarized (%): 48.12 49.93 6.06 21.05 Cusped (%): 29.27 29.22 15.77 23.41 Opposed (%): 24.36 25.46 12.59 46.63 Scorched (%): 9.73 10.63 0.00 14.47 Chained (%): 79.73 80.54 14.87 82.49 Numbered (%): 74.80 77.16 7.72 77.55 -------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- Disgrace (%): 84.81 88.00 11.31 94.61 Inferior (%): 49.10 50.79 0.14 85.80 Superior (%): 35.71 37.20 11.17 8.81 -------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- Integrity: 10.00 7.90 74.69 3.38 -------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- Category: 3.66 3.30 9 3 Neither the chart for Isabel Hickey nor the chart for Adolf Hitler is included in any of the two chart groups. The same goes for all other astrologers and dictators. You may notice that the Cusped diagnostic for the first time shows a slightly higher value for the control than for the test group. This can be explained by the Moon's greatly increased weight in this release and the fact that most of the charts in the test group are untimed. With the Moon disabled the corresponding figures are 29,10 for the control and 29,12 for the test group. It is my prediction that if only accurately timed charts are used the statistical significance will be a lot greater, especially with the Moon enabled. In this release the cusp range extends 12 degrees from each cusp. The inferiority score should reveal potential for antisocial behavior. Inferior disgrace can also show forth as childishness, incompetence and excessive humility. An inferiority score below ten in combination with a strong sidereal rising sign should rule out the possibility of severe antisocial behavior, including violent extremes such as all rape and torture, cruelty to animals, pseudo- psychiatry, as well as any state-sanctioned unlawful killing, such as capital punishments in some countries, killing of unborn children, euthanasia, genocide and suicide. The strong sidereal rising signs are Aquarius, Capricorn, Libra and Taurus. If the inferiority score is greater than the integrity score and either Jupiter, Venus or Saturn is very weak (registering very little influence) there can be intellectual, social or universal/spiritual retardation. In the case of a weak Saturn health problems and dyslexia can also be predicted. For extreme sociopaths the integrity score should fall into a Yellow or lower category and the inferiority score be at least five times as great as the integrity score. The most notorious war criminals, scam artists, sociopaths, sadists, mass-murderers, and serial killers already easily satisfy this condition: Tzipi Livni (6,7 & 42,4 => 6,3), Henry Kissinger (8,3 & 62,3 => 7,5), Bernard Madoff (4,1 & 82,7 => 20,2), Bill Gates (2,0 & 84,0 => 42,0), Timothy McVeigh (1,2 & 54,0 => 45), Marquis de Sade (1,0 & 45,6 => 45,6), Adolf Eichmann (0,9 & 41,4 => 46), Harold Shipman (0,9 & 86,7 => 96,3), and Ted Bundy (0,5 & 91,0 => 182). The superiority score should reveal potential hypersocial behavior, including infidelity and adultery (without antisocial intent), and a lack of respect for people in general. High superiority scores should also be indicative of repression and lack of authenticity, humility and bravery. People with a weak Sun and an emphasis on superiority are less likely to know themselves and are consequently also less likely to know the people around them. Charts with a superiority score exceeding 50% or at least twice as great as the integrity and with a margin greater than the inferiority score should reveal a genuine superiority complex. If the superiority score is greater than the integrity score and either the Sun, Mars or Mercury is very weak (registering very little influence) there can be mental, analytical or sensual retardation. In the case of a weak Mercury problems with concentration and memory can be predicted. With this revision, 4 of the 13 dictators included in the Astrolog for OS/2 Chart Collection score above average integrity for the control: Fidel Castro (31,1; 15,9; 49,5), Mao Zedong (27,8; 31,8; 35,0), Hu Jintao (15,2; 65,1; 12,9), and Francisco Franco (12,7; 41,7; 43,0). All the remaining charts score integrity below the average for the control, as well as below the average for the criminal test group, including those of Josef Stalin (7,7; 17,9; 69,9) and Pol Pot (7,4; 56,7; 32,9). The following charts all score integrity below category 4, i.e. more than half of the control charts score higher integrity: Adolf Hitler's (3,4; 85,8; 8,8), Vladimir Lenin's (2,7; 35,0; 60,0), Benito Mussolini's (1,8; 92,7; 4,8), Ho Chi Minh's (1,6; 37,5; 60,2), Kim Jong-il's (1,3; 36,9; 60,3), Hosni Mubarak's (0,8; 61,7; 37,2), Omar al-Bashir's (0,4; 32,2; 67,3). The control group includes a subgroup of 106 judges (all the supreme court justices of the United States at the time of building the control). Its average integrity score is 10,29 with a category average of 3,75. 42,45% of the charts score in a Gray or higher category. The test group includes the following subgroups of at least 100 charts: 235 registered sex offenders (7,6; 49,7; 38,7); 244 past and present inmates on Alabama deathrow (8,1; 51,0; 36,8); 100 white female murderers (8,4; 50,3; 36,6); 105 assorted serial rapists and killers (7,5; 48,6; 39,6); and 189 people convicted of first degree murder (7,7; 50,4; 37,9). One subgroup scores well above average for the test group as a whole: 92 people in prison for fraud (first and second degree) have an average integrity score of 9,0. The updated chart analysis module also produces a new category output, which for now simply divides the integrity range in nine different bands, with the fifth starting about halfway between the criminal test group average and the control group average, and ending exactly a ninth the distance towards full from the latter. The fourth category surrounds the criminal test group average. This category output makes it easier to track chart distribution and may in later releases also be augmented with constraints based on the inferiority and superiority scores. In the pre-alpha the user will be able to adjust these limits, but for this initial release they are fixed as follows: Integrity < 1 => 1. Black Integrity < 3 => 2. Red Integrity < 6 => 3. Orange Integrity < 9 => 4. Yellow Integrity < 20 => 5. Gray Integrity < 33,3 => 6. Green Integrity < 50,0 => 7. Blue Integrity < 66,7 => 8. Indigo Integrity < 100,1 => 9. Violet Slighty fewer than half of the control charts show up in the first three categories. A goal for the pre-alpha will be to have at least a third of control charts score in the Gray or higher categories, and fewer than one tenth in the Black. For a new control consisting of the 75 232 noon (UTC) charts spanning the seven last cycles of Saturn the share currently scoring in the Black is 15,4%. I hope to bring this down in the pre-alpha, so that fewer than one ninth register in the Black. The average integrity score is 9,01. The category distribution for the C715 and T1080 groups, using the integrity limits mentioned earlier, is as follows: Charts (n): 715 1080 --------------------- ----- 1. Black (%): 14.13 17.13 2. Red (%): 17.76 20.74 3. Orange (%): 16.64 20.28 4. Yellow (%): 12.17 11.76 5. Gray (%): 24.90 20.00 6. Green (%): 8.67 7.69 7. Blue (%): 4.90 1.76 8. Indigo (%): 0.84 0.65 9. Violet (%): 0.00 0.00 --------------------- ----- Five+ (%): 39.30 30.09 If you have any ideas for additional analysis factors to include or tests you would like to see done please contact me. All data used are available to the public via the Internet. I would appreciate if you let me know of any timed charts for serial killers that score in the Blue or higher categories, there should not be any! Note: Starting with this release you have to enable chart analysis on the new Analysis menu. You can also selectively disable one or more features of the ACA module, and turn on/off diagnostics. * Stats Function: You can have the software gather statistics for a group of charts by selecting Enable on the new Stats menu. The current chart will be added and all subsequently analyzed charts as well. The stats will only be reset when you select Reset on the Stats menu or use the First Chart or Last Chart commands on the File menu. * Chart Show: Akin to a picture slide show you can create a show of astrological charts by selecting Auto Repeat on the File menu. Start the show by pressing Ctrl+PgUp for the previous or Ctrl+PgDn for the next chart in sequence. Another chart will be loaded automatically at the set timer interval specified from the Animation menu. To pause you can press Ctrl+Pause. To resume use the same key combination again and restart. About Astrolog -------------- Astrolog is a classic when it comes to astrology software, not only is it 100 percent open source software, but it is also the most complete, and most flexible astrology calculation program ever made freely available. Thanks to the original author Walter D. Pullen, Astrolog is already available on multiple platforms, including DOS, Windows, Mac and Unix. Permission for this independent port and the name "Astrolog for OS/2" has been granted by the original author. Astrolog for OS/2 ----------------- This port of the original Astrolog software for 16-bit MS Windows to 32-bit IBM OS/2 compares to the Windows version (5.30) as follows. In the list below a minus sign precedes original functionality not ported. A plus sign indicates functionality not found in the original Windows version. An exclamation mark precedes functionality previously omitted. Functional changes: - Basic interpretations (report function to be implemented) - Arabic parts (unlikely to get implemented) - Biorythm (unlikely to get implemented) - Windows bitmap save (unlikely to get implemented) + OS/2 bitmap save. + Sidereal whole sign houses (aka Synchronized Houses). + Configurable default rising sign. NEW + Sankhya Yoga (Jyotish). NEW + Extended chart information including tags and rodden ratings. NEW + Extended dispositor screen NEW + House peaks (makes a difference for whole sign houses). + Long filenames (if supported by the filesystem). + Divisional charts modify houses. + Dwadasamsa division. + Remembers size and position of main window. + Automatic saving of all settings on exit. + Chart info caching (automatic resume). + Easy switching between four chart slots. + Chart slot swapping (to ease synastry work). + Chart ring rotation (primary chart slot always in the center) NEW + Localized time and date formats. NEW + In addition to local time and date formats also recognizes ISO, US and German dates as input in chart info dialog. NEW + Calendar can be specified for any date (suffix a date with a capital J for Julian or a capital G for Gregorian). NEW + Time zone automatically picked up if the environment variable TZ has been set in config.sys, to test select the "Now" push button in the chart dialog or press ctrl+z. + Clear and non-conflicting UTC-based time zone designations. No confusing daylight savings setting. + Also recognizes direction based time zone values such as 7W for 7 hours west and 2E for 2 hours east. NEW + Chart files can be easily associated with the executable. + Chart files in the current directory can be quickly opened in sequence (Next, Previous, First, Last). NEW + Copying of select text to the clipboard. + Adjustment of aspect lines to orb (instead of a fixed 2 degrees). + Aspect trimming, by sign and out of sign. + Sine function for power reduction following orb. ! Command line dialog (direct access to command line switches). NEW + Automatic chart analysis (ACA) advanced and accurate enough to be of practical use. The system aims to provide accurate ranking of planets as well as signs in a chart. The first stage of analysis, which boils down to an integrity score, is near completion. The second stage, which looks to accidental factors, will take less time to complete. Please provide feedback to help make ACA as accurate as possible. NEW Operational improvements: + Faster chart drawing. + Repaint instead of redraw whenever possible (disabled in this version for stability reasons). + Transit and other listings scrollable without recalculation. Functionality yet to be fully implemented: * Extended chart information: Multiple events per file. * Chart information dialog: More useful Atlas button (currently diabled). * Automatic Chart Analysis: Scores for individual planets, fortune score, plus more accurate integrity score. * Chart wheels: Easier to read planetary positions. * Many other features such as crude stats may be included in the final release. The following will probably have to wait until version 2.1: * Report function (user editable interpretation texts) * Major Yogas (jyotish) * Chart search Support OS/2 Software Development --------------------------------- Since this application has been ported and extended for free, your donations are welcome!

Astrolog for OS/2 system requirements ------------------------------------- Any system running OS/2 Warp 4.5 or later (including eCS). It may run on earlier versions, but this has not been tested. Early versions of OS/2 Warp will not run this software due to dependency on new system functions. The source code for this version was compiled and linked using Open Watcom C 1.9 (C99), OS/2 Warp 4.5 libraries, and the resource compiler included in the Warp 4.5 toolkit. Where to get Astrolog for OS/2 ------------------------------ The latest stable port of Astrolog to OS/2 is archived at the public OS/2 shareware and free software archive Hobbes: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu In case you cannot reach Hobbes, or you want the latest info on Astrolog for OS/2 you may visit its home page (see top). The Astrolog Homepage (original software) ----------------------------------------- Ephemeris and general info about Astrolog as well as links to related sites can be found at the Astrolog homepage: http://www.astrolog.org/astrolog.htm Here you will also be able to find the original source code for Astrolog as well as binaries for MS Windows (16-bit).
