Type d:\rf_astro\setup (d: is the drive letter for your CD-ROM drive) and hit ENTER. Follow the on- screen instructions. When installation is completed, please exit and restart Windows so that changes to your WIN.INI file can take effect. Once you are back in Windows, double-click on the RF_ASTRO icon to start RF_ASTRO. Read the information in the introduction window, then click on 'OK' to remove the window. You will now see three windows, the Natal Input Data window, the Names window and the Diurnal Input Data window. Click on a name in the Names window. The birth data for that name appears in the Natal Input Data window. You may change this data or enter data for a different person or event. The Diurnal Input Data window is for entering the data for transits, progressions, solar or lunar returns, etc., or the birth data for another individual. If the '2nd Person' box is checked in the Diurnal Input Data window, then clicking on a name in the Names window will make that person's birth data appear in the Diurnal Input Data window. This allows you to compare one person's horoscope with another. Data entered into the Natal Input Data window can be saved to file by clicking on the 'Save to Disk' command button. You will be given a choice as to which data file you want the data saved. When you are satisfied with your data entry, click on the 'OK' command button to start the calculations. Shortly, the natal data for the person whose data is entered into the Natal Input Data window appears in the Data window. All data and help information will appear in this window. Whatever appears in this window or has appeared in this window since the buffer was last cleared can be printed to your printer or saved to a disk file. Additional data is displayed in the Data window by clicking on the DATA menu item in the RF_ASTRO window. Select the data you want displayed from amongst the many menu item choices. Planetary hour data is displayed in its own window but the information can be transferred to the Data window. You may display single, double or triple chartwheels by clicking on the WHEELS menu item in the main RF_ASTRO window. If you get an error message when the chartwheel should appear, then copy the file named HORARY.TTF from your c:\windows\system directory to your c:\windows\fonts directory. Choose various combinations of data from amongst the three types of wheels. Once the Wheels window is displayed, you may display a list of aspects or print the chartwheel to your printer in either a full page or half page arrangement. Change program parameters by selecting the OPTIONS menu item in the main RF_ASTRO window. Edit the options text box as you would if you were in Notepad or any other Windows text editing application. Click on SAVE to save your changes. Click on QUIT to leave the options window. I suggest you immediately change options #18 - #24 to fit your locale. Help is available at any time by clicking on the HELP menu item in the RF_ASTRO window, then clicking on the topic of interest. I suggest you read ALL the information under HELP - HINTS (How Do I...? and Tips), especially the hint that tells you how to print out all the help files into one document. Experiment with RF_ASTRO. It will not take long for you to become an expert user. If you need help, feel free to contact us at rosfshp@rosicrucianfellowship.org. Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SUGERENCIAS PARA UN INICIALIZADOR RAPIDO Inserte el disquete de RF_ASTRO en su unidad de disquete y seleccione 'RUN' (Ejecute) en el menu de 'FILE' (Archivos) del 'Program Manager' (Director de Programas) si usa Windows 3x, o selecccione 'RUN' en 'START' (Inicializador) si usa Windows95.
