- AstroMart 2.11 (C) 1991 Langway Company
- 7, avenue du Granier
- F-38240 Meylan, France
-
- (33) 76 41 13 15
-
- Comprehensive software for professional and amateur astrologers
-
- -------------------
-
- Introduction
-
- This is an older version of the AstroMart software which I have
- decided to release as shareware on the international market. The
- Langway company reserves all rights concerning this program, but
- will allow this specific version to be copied and distributed
- freely and without charge.
-
- It is forbidden to modify or translate this version of AstroMart
- software and its files. It must be distributed with all its
- files.
-
- Users may register by sending Stg £29. Registered users will
- receive the latest version of AstroMart. The 3.2 version does
- much more than the program you have now (see below). A Windows
- version will be released in April 1992. This will have word
- processing facilities and will allow text and graphics to be
- exported to other Windows software. These versions are not
- shareware. Send in the licence form (licence.doc) with a cheque
- (English or International) or money order, or use your
- Visa/Access/Mastercard and call (Int. code) (33) 76 41 13 15.
-
- This version of AstroMart must not be used for professional
- purposes. Once you have registered, there are no royalties for
- the professional use of AstroMart, including its text output.
-
- -------------------
-
- AstroMart is a complete software for calculating an astrological
- chart.
-
- The AstroMart program was created in response to the demand from
- astrologers. Currently, all confirmed astrologers use a computer
- to calculate the ephemeris. The AstroMart program responds
- perfectly to the needs of the astrologer for working out the
- astral charts.
-
- It is equally addressed to students of astrology, and to all those
- who are interested in this science. Indeed, a chart analysis is
- included in the software. We would advise beginners, however, to
- consult other more specifically teaching books on the subject.
-
- AstroMart allows you to enter the details of the person to be
- studied for the calculation of his or her astral chart, and
- calculates the position of the planets at the time of birth as
- well as the position of the astrological houses and aspects.
-
- The AstroMart program was written by F. Burns.

-
- Advantages of the 3.2 version
-
- The 3.2 version is more than twice as large as the shareware
- version.
-
- All the modules dealing with more than one chart have separated
- menus containing options specific to that module. Thus, the
- transit module has a specific item for calculating other transits,
- separate analysis, special graphics (superposed graphs, side by
- side graphs, two different line graphs), and even items leading to
- other modules that use the information displayed (chart of the
- date of a transit, comparison to the main chart, mid-points,
- etc.).
-
- Here are the additional functions:
-
- Directory
-
- This function lets you view a file in the directory used to
- export charts to a word processor.
- Line graph
- This draws (or prints out) a tabular representation of the
- movement of the planets starting at a certain date and using a
- certain step; for example, month by month from 1st January,
- 1992. This is useful for finding vital dates when groupings
- will take place.
- There are two special line graphs for calculating transits. One
- shows the movement of the planet in transit relative to all the
- planets in the main chart, the other shows the movement of the
- planet relative to the aspects of one of the planets in the main
- chart. Both let you grasp visually the true movement of the
- planet.
-
- Fictive points
-
- This displays various other sidereal points used by some
- astrologers.
-
- Transits
-
- This calculates the transits for each planet in the birth chart.
- This module includes special graphics to show the movement of
- the planet in transit relative to the planets in the chart.
- There is a special analysis file to interpret the transits.
-
- Compare to a day
-
- This module compares the main chart to the positions of the
- planet at a certain date, which is equivalent to calculating all
- the transits and near transits for that date. This function is
- especially useful for making horoscopes.
-
- Compare two charts
-
- This calculates the compatibility between two people. There is
- a special analysis text for this comparison.
-
- Compare to the file
-
- This function compares a chart to each chart contained in the
- file. You can specify the sex and age of the person whose chart
- you are looking for, and also the degree of compatibility or
- antagonism.
-
- Solar revolution
-
- This module calculates the solar revolution for a person at a
- given age.
-
- Progression
-
- This function calculates the progressed chart for the chart you
- are studying.
-
- Print to file
-
- This exports the text output to a file that can be loaded into
- any word processor. Thus you can use the tables and analyses of
- AstroMart as a basis for your own work.
- Options:
- You can link new and different analysis files to the analysis
- functions of each module (birth chart, transits, compare two
- people, compare to a day, etc). When you use the analysis
- function in that module, AstroMart will display, print or export
- to a file the personalized text in the linked analysis file.
-
- You can specify different orbs for each aspect and for each
- planet (e.g.: conjunction Sun at 12° and conjunction Pluto at
- 6°).
-
- You can specify which planets are to be displayed in the
- graphics, and also which ones are to be taken into account for
- determining aspects. This allows you to suppress a planet to
- simplify complex displays such as the combined graphic of a
- comparison, or to ignore a planet you do not consider important
- in a chart.
-
- Likewise, the types of aspects used for transits can be
- modified.
-
- An option enables the display of the degrees in the graphics.
-
- The colours used in the graphics can be customised. You can
- select the colour for the wheel, the houses, each planet, and
- each type of aspect.
-
- The printer module in AstroMart 3.2 has specific drivers for
- most printers (IBM, Epson, Laserjet II, HPGL2). These drivers
- compose and print out graphics directly using the resolution and
- graphic commands of the printer (not a screen hardcopy).
- Circles are always perfectly round, and the result is always
- much better than what you see on the screen, even with VGA.
-
- And even more:
-
- The list of localities has been greatly enlarged to include
- thousands of additional towns all over the world, and especially
- in English-speaking countries.
-
- The time adjustment file has been updated to take better into
- account countries with multiple time zones, such as the USA.
-
- Of course, a complete printed user's manual is provided.
-
- -------------------
-
- We are looking for editors or distributors in all countries.
-
- Langway edits and distributes AstroMart in France (not as
- shareware). We also translate and localise other software. If
- you are thinking of selling software in Europe, contact us. We
- would consider translating or editing other products, even in
- different fields than AstroMart. We have good references in the
- industrial control and measurement fields.
