TIPS FOR QUICK STARTUP


     Unzip AstroSrc.ZIP into an empty temporary directory like  c:\junk and 
     then  run  setup.exe  from  that  directory.   Follow  the   on-screen 
     instructions. Please manually copy  the file  named Astro123.ttf  from 
     your c:\windows\system directory to  your c:\windows\fonts  directory.  
     Double-click  on  the  AstroSrc  icon  to  start  AstroSrc.   Read the 
     information in the introduction  window, then  click on  'CONTINUE' to 
     remove the window.

     You will now see three windows, the Natal Input Data window, the Names 
     window, and the Diurnal Input Data  window.  Click  on a  name in  the 
     Names window.  The birth data for that name appears in the Natal Input 
     Data window.  You may change this data or enter data  for a  different 
     person.  The Diurnal Input Data window  is for  entering the  data for 
     transits  or  the  birth  data for  another individual.   If the  '2nd 
     Person' box is checked in the Diurnal Input Data window, then clicking 
     on a  name in  the Names  window will  make that  person's birth  data 
     appear in the Diurnal Input Data window.  This  allows you  to compare 
     one  person's  horoscope with  another.  Data  entered into  the Natal 
     Input Data window can be saved  to file  by clicking  on the  'Save to 
     Disk' command button.  You will be  given a  choice as  to which  data 
     file you want the data saved.

     When you are satisfied with your data entry, click on  the OK  command 
     button to  start the  calculations. Shortly,  the natal  data for  the 
     person whose data is entered into the Natal Input Data  window appears 
     in the Data window. All data and help information will appear in  this 
     window. Whatever appears in this window or has appeared in this window 
     since the buffer was last cleared can be  printed to  your printer  or 
     saved to a disk file. Click  in HELP  for more  information about  the 
     DATA window.

     Other data is displayed in the  Data window  by clicking  on the  DATA 
     menu  item  in  the  main AstroSrc  window. Select  the data  you want 
     displayed from amongst the  menu item  choices. Go  through each  menu 
     item and see what data that menu item presents. You  can always  click 
     on HELP for more information.

     Various types of chartwheels can be displayed by  clicking on  WHEELS. 
     If the chartwheel fails to display  the proper  glyphs, then  you must 
     copy   the   file  (use   Explorer)  named   Astro123.TTF  from   your 
     c:\windows\system  directory  into  your  c:\windows\fonts  directory.  
     Consult your Windows manual for help, if needed. After displaying  the 
     chartwheel, you may view a listing  of aspects  in a  separate window, 
     change the orbs for those aspects, print the chartwheel in either full 
     or half page format, or view  a chartwheel  with proportional  or non- 
     proportional houses.  Go through each menu item and see for yourself.

     A natal analysis or a transit analysis may be generated by clicking on 
     the REPORTS menu item. You may print the analysis to a printer or save 
     it  to  a  file.   Page  up  and down  the report  by clicking  on the 
     appropriate command button.  The HOME, END, PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys 
     also navigate you through the on-screen analysis.

     Change program parameters by selecting the OPTIONS -   OPTION SETTINGS 
     menu item in the AstroSrc window.  Edit the  options text  box as  you 
     would  if  you  were  in  Notepad  or any  other Windows  text editing 
     application.  Please review options #18 - #24 and change the  settings 
     to reflect your location. Click on SAVE to save your changes. Click on 
     QUIT to exit the options window.

     The  HEADER  menu  item  allows  you   to  change   your  personalized 
     information for the generated analysis and the chartwheel.

     Help is available at any time by clicking on the HELP menu item in the 
     AstroSrc  window,  then clicking  on the  topic of  interest. NOTE:  I 
     suggest you at least look at all the HINTS under HELP.

     Experiment with AstroSrc. It will not take long for you  to become  an 
     expert user. Thank you.
