Here is a quote from the last part of the final paragraph: "The KidZone is tailored for children and includes a unique Sun-Moon-Ascendant description. Many books or software programs will describe a pair of planets or the Sun-Moon blend, but synthesizing the specific character traits associated with an individual Sun, Moon, and Ascendant was an ambitious undertaking. The KidZone now offers astrologers a new level of interpretive accuracy. For the most advanced computer-driven calculations and interpretations that can be generated at a moderate price, AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter is an excellent choice for the twenty-first century astrologer."

Version 6.3 of AstrolDeluxe is 100% compatible with all 32-bit versions of Windows, from Windows 95 to Windows XP. See the Software Details page for price information and the Version 6.3 Features page to see details of what is added to the new version.

The January 2004 issue of American Astrology: Your Daily Horoscope featured a glowing review of our AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter program by the editor, Kenneth Irving, who describes the software as "highly capable" and "very flexible", and concluded that, "AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter is a great software package, with enough options to satisfy most users, clear, well-written help files, and enough flexibility to grow with you as your needs and tastes change. Even though many aspects of it are geared to the professional user, it is simple enough for a student of astrology to learn, as the program's standard settings make it easy to use the program 'out of the box'."

The program is now in live use. The address of this astrologer's web site will be supplied on request.

We released a new version 2.3 of Astrology for Windows as of September 17, 1999, which extends the accurate range of Chiron outside the 20th century, to span the period from 1800 to 2100 A.D. As of the October 10, 1999 version 2.3a, if you turn on Chiron as a planet in the Customization menu, Chiron can be one of the transiting planets at Options, Transits List. The November 18, 1999 version 2.3b fixed a bug with the Applying and Separating transiting aspect indicators when you have compared a Here & Now chart to a natal chart. Version 2.3b allows the Astrodatabank program to make successive calls to Astrology for Windows to display different charts without having to unload Astrology for Windows. In this version 2.3, the declinations at Display, Supplemental Calculations, are extended past the Asc. and M.C. to include the Moon's Nodes, the Part of Fortune, and Chiron, if you have customized the program to include those additional planet points. This version adds glyphs showing any intercepted signs between the houses of the graphic chartwheel. It adds a list of recently viewed charts, at the bottom of the File menu at the Chart Information screen, allowing immediate selection and display. In the version of Astrology for Windows that can be downloaded off the Internet, twelve languages can be selected during installation, namely, English, Spanish, Norwegian, Dutch, Portugese, Swedish, Italian, French, Czech, Romanian, Finnish, and German. Three more languages, Slovak, Polish, and Russian, can be downloaded from the Updates page. The separate demo program of additional features found in AstrolDeluxe for Windows, a demo that can be run from the Natal Information screen's Help menu, has been updated to show all the added features in AstrolDeluxe, including AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter, as of 1999. The Windows Help manual has been thoroughly brought up to date.

It costs nothing more than the time of a download to bring your Astrology for Windows program up to date. You will not lose any saved charts or settings, although it would help if you knew the location of your existing program and can unzip to the same location. Astrology for Windows displays the location of your current program on the Status Bar at the bottom of the Natal Information Screen, where it tells you the location of your currently loaded charts file.
