COPYRIGHT (C) 1995-1998 R.A. LOGUSH
All rights reserved worldwide.
Astroscan (tm)
Released March 7, 1998
NEW FEATURES
1. RULERSHIPS
Rulerships have been added to the Analysis section
of the on-screen view and the report. The Sun-Sign
Ruler, the Chart Ruler (ruling planet of ascending
sign, and the traditional sign rulers.
2. TRANSIT CHARTS CAN BE SAVED
Transit chartwheels can be saved as PCX or GIF
images. Many options for image modification.
3. JUMP TO RECENT CHARTS (with new Hotkey "J")
Natal charts that are loaded from different files
(N1, N2, N3...) are stored in a special file for
quick and easy recall. The last 20 charts loaded
can be viewed in the file called Recent Files. It
is displayed by selecting Recent Files in the Sub
Menu or simply by pressing the Hot Key "j" on the
keyboard (short for "jump" to recent files). Any
of the last 20 charts in this file can be viewed
on the screen just as with Get Chart. Once the
Recent Charts file has been selected it stays as
the current default Get Chart file. Selecting a
a new File with Load FIle will cancel the default.
4. ALL DATABASE FILES AVAILABLE
All database files (N1 to N90) are available.
FIXED BUGS
1. SHIFTED CHART WHEEL GLYPHS
On rare occasions, the chart wheel glyphs were
shifted by one planet forwards or backwards in the
longitude sequence. This was evident when the
Current Positions were displayed for March 7-9,
1998. This bug is fixed.
2. TRANSIT CHART WHEELS CRASH
The program crashed when the Transits chart wheel
was saved with "Save Chart." This bug is fixed.
3. INSTALLATION CRASH
On some systems, Astroscan V1.4 crashed during the
installation. This bug is fixed.

FEATURES
Astroscan was intended to fill the void in the
astrological shareware market. If astrology is to
grow and evolve into an advanced and effective
art of behavioral analysis and prognostication,
then the best software must be accessible at the
lowest price. (V1.X series is freeware.)
While some of the more flashy programs try to fit
in everything but the kitchen sink, Astroscan
offers realistic and effective factors.
Accurate calculations are not compromised, though
not overdone. Some programs can calculate charts
to the second of a minute. But how useful is this
when most hospital births are rounded off to the
quarter of an a hour, let alone problems with DST.
Astroscan is easy to use, yet extremely versatile
and powerful. No other shareware program has so
many conventional analysis techniques as well as
effective new ones.
Astroscan has the smoothest and smartest controls
of any astrological program. A unique, miniature
5-button menu allows more space to be allocated
to chart data lists on the screen, yet performs
all the essential duties for diverse analysis that
a full menu does. And for the most demanding user
there are many Hot Keys which deliver results with
lightening speed.
Astroscan has the most efficient system of chart
file retrieval and management.
Astroscan includes an auto-atlas. Typing only the
first 1 to 3 letters of the city automatically in-
serts all of the birthplace data.
Astroscan includes numerous charts of celebrities.
Features include Aspect Sorts by Orb or Planet,
Aspect Types such as Hard, Soft, Esoteric, etc.,
Single-Planet-Perspectives by Orb, Aspect or Type.
There are popular house systems and special ones:
Placidus, Koch, Equal, 4 Angles, Topocentric,
Regiomantanus, Campanus, Porphyry, Octangular,
and composities of houses.
Chart Analysis: Elements, Qualities, Quarters,
Quadrants, Hemispheres, House Types, Total Planets
per Sign and House, Rising, Mid-heaven, Oriental &
Cutting planets, Frequent aspects, Intense (small-
est orbs) aspects, Personal vs Collective Aspects,
Aspect Type Totals, Aspect Patterns (T-Squares,
Grand Trines, Kites, etc., with details (Apex and

ASTROSCAN 1.5 STILL IN BETA STAGE
This is the latest beta version of Astroscan. As
with all first releases of software, some parts of
the program may not function as intended nor meet
the expectations of all users. Such releases are
always regarded by the authors and users as beta
programs (trial testing versions). With updates
and user feedback, program bugs are eliminated,
and changes are made to improve performance.
Much remains to be improved in the current version
of Astroscan. Besides technical improvements, more
astrological tools will be added in future updates.
