Shareware Installation Instructions:
------------------------------------
The Astrology for Windows program, version 2.2, now comes in a self-
extracting Windows executable - ASTWIN22.EXE.  Once you have downloaded
this program to your computer, double-click from Explorer on the file. 
The WinZip extraction program will confirm that you want to extract all
the files to the C:\WINASTRO directory, which it will create for you. 

The final act of the extraction process is to run the INSTALL1.EXE
program - this will ask in which of the 13 available languages you
prefer that your program be and will add the Halloran Software program
group and astrology item icons to your Windows desktop [you yourself
can rerun the INSTALL1.EXE program in the future].

In Windows 95, select Start, Programs, Halloran Software and click on
the moon icon item in order to run the Astrology for Windows program.

Troubleshooting
---------------
If Windows tells you that it cannot find the VBRUN300.DLL file, then
in Windows 95/98 use Start, Find, Files to search your entire system
for VBRUN300.*  If you find VBRUN300.EXE, VBRUN300.ZIP, or VBRUN300.DL_
then these are compressed files from which you must extract
VBRUN300.DLL [by (1) running the self-extracting executable, 
(2) extracting the file with PKUNZIP or WinZip, or (3) extracting the
file with the Microsoft EXPAND program].  If you have not extracted
into the \windows\system directory, copy VBRUN300.DLL to this
directory.  If you do not have the VBRUN300.DLL file, obtain it from
the same source from which you obtained the ASTWIN22.EXE file [such as
www.halloran.com].  VBRUN300.DLL is the Visual Basic run-time dynamic
link library, version 3.  It is needed to run any programs that were
written with version 3 of Visual Basic.  You could acquire many such
programs, so it is best to put just one instance of this large library
in your \windows\system directory where all VB programs can find it.

If you get a message that a VBX file (such as GRID.VBX, COMMDLG.VBX, or
THREED.VBX) is out of date, this is usually because an outdated file
is in your Windows directory.  If a more recent version is in your
\windows\system directory or in the astrology directory, then disable
the file in the Windows directory by renaming it (e.g., with *.SAV
instead of *.VBX) and copy the latest version to the \windows\system
directory.  Then restart Windows and try to run our program again.

Welcome to the Program
----------------------
Astrology for Windows and its parent AstrolDeluxe for Windows are able
to do amazing things that are only possible within the Windows
environment.  These programs give you better color printing than any
program for the DOS environment.  The drop-down list boxes provide
convenient access to data such as your saved charts, geographic data,
and time zones.  Other list boxes let you scroll natal and transiting
aspects and copy this text data to the Windows clipboard.  You can use
the clipboard to copy and paste the planet and house positions in
numerical form into a Windows spreadsheet.  Via the clipboard, you can
paste graphic wheels into resizable frames in a Windows word processor. 
The program will even automatically resize the detailed color Atlas
maps, the graphic chart displays, and the Natal Information screen for
whatever screen resolution you have Windows set.

Astrology for Windows includes context-sensitive Windows Help.  This
means that help specific to any point in the program is available just
by pressing the F1 function key.  If you want to read the manual,
select Contents.  To search for help on a specific program area, select
Search and type in the name of the desired function or topic.  Select
File and Print from the Windows Help menu to print any one topic for
later reference.
