Advanced Astrology Software for Windows
Astrology for Windows, v. 2.3
AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter, v. 7.1
Customers are buying one of two astrology programs now -- either the $26.50 Astrology for Windows program or the $169 AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter program. The Astrology for Windows shareware program
is available in unregistered demo form as a free software download and
in registered form for $26.50. The calculations in this astrology program
may be all that an astrology hobbyist needs. The $169 AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter program is version 7.1 of AstrolDeluxe for Windows. AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter is a full-featured calculation program which bundles the 250,000 cities PC Atlas. Although many astrologers buy it just for its calculation ability, built into AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter is an unparalleled report printing engine that lets you print customizable professional-length interpretation reports without leaving the calculation program. It comes with well-written interpretations for 18-page natal reports, and professional astrologers have written interpretation sets for eight longer reports that can be added for $100 each. [The older version 2.4 AstrolDeluxe for Windows program does not install on Windows XP computers, although it can still be purchased to run on older versions of Windows.] There are substantial discounts if you are upgrading from one version to a higher version, or if you had one of our earlier DOS-based programs.
System Requirements
The 32-bit version 7.1, AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter, is optimized for Windows Vista and is 100% compatible with any computer running Windows 95 or higher, such as 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, or Vista.
Version 7.1 of AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter is the first version to be distributed all on one CD (with no companion diskettes).
When Halloran Software creates your personalized AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter program CD, we will add to folders on the CD all the add-on interpretation sets that your customer record shows you to have purchased.
There is no need to contact Halloran Software in order to install the CD to different computers. Product activation may be added in the future for new customers, but I do not feel that product activation is needed for existing customers.
This will give you a CD which will be a reliable means for future installations of your software.
Astrology for Windows and AstrolDeluxe for Windows, version 2.4, are programs that run on computers with Windows 3.1 or higher. These 16-bit programs are only guaranteed to print to local printers that are connected to the computer's parallel printer port, although they can be made to print to most USB port printers from Windows XP or Vista. For more info, see this news page.

Demo of AstrolDeluxe
The unregistered Astrology for Windows shareware
program is a free astrology software download. It provides experience with the look and feel of our software.
Until you register Astrology for Windows for $26.50,
you can save as many as 100 charts, but you can only print the
two graphic wheels for your first saved chart. After you register Astrology for Windows you can save up to 30,000 charts and print an unlimited number of graphic wheels. You can use this accurate program to calculate on-screen an unlimited number of charts without ever paying the registration fee. A separate demo
program is bundled with the shareware Astrology for Windows
program which lets you interactively see on-screen all the major
features of AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter which are not
in the shareware program (as of version 4 of AstrolDeluxe). To run the AstrolDeluxe
demo from inside Astrology for Windows, select this
option from the Help menu on the Natal Information Screen.
