Astrolog32 v. 1.30 Readme
Welcome to Astrolog32!
Astrolog32 is a free Windows software with a rich feature set. It has most of the features used by beginners, and some used by advanced students of Astrology.
Astrolog was created by Walter Pullen, who finished development in December 1998. Valentin Abramov continued its development until April 2002. Astrolog32 is based on Astrolog version 5.41g for MS Windows, as modified by Valentin. For a list of changes done since 5.41g, please look at the bottom of file "History A32.html".
Using Astrolog32 for the first time
New users should do the following:

1. Unzip all files to c:\astrolog32, keeping the same folder names as in the zip file. This will result in two sub-directories being created, "main" and "interpretations". You may store Astrolog32 in a different directory, but then on the next step you will have to let Astrolog32 know where you put it.
2. Double-click on "astrolog32.exe". A window will appear for initial configuration. Press the Next button to choose the regional settings most appropriate to you. Next enter the coordinates and time zone of where you live. Finally you can choose the directories used by Astrolog32 . If you installed it in the default directory, no change is needed at this time, otherwise configure Astrolog32 with the directory where you stored it.
3. We recommend that you download the Swiss Ephemeris files from the Astrolog32 site, or from AstroDienst. With those files, not only will you get more precise results, but calculations are faster.
