Type a:setup (a: is the drive letter for your floppy drive) and hit ENTER. Follow the on-screen instructions. Install the program in the default directory or choose a directory of your choice. Wait until installation is completed, then reboot your computer. To start RF_EPHEM simply double-click on the RF_EPHEM icon. Once RF_EPHEM has started read the information in the introduction window, then click on 'OK' to remove the window. You will now see the Input Data window on your screen. Set the date from where you want to start the calculations, click on the various parameters you desire and finally either click on Calculate Ephemeris to calculate an ephemeris or Calculate Aspectarian to calculate an aspectarian. Shortly, depending on the speed and capability of your computer, the data you have selected appears in the Data window. All data and help information will appear in this window.

Click on SAVE to save your changes. Click on QUIT to leave the options window. Help is available at any time by clicking on the HELP menu item in the RF_EPHEM window, then clicking on the topic of interest. I suggest you read ALL the information under HELP - INPUT DATA WINDOW, HELP - HOW DO I...? and HELP - TIPS, especially the tip (#1) that tells you how to print out all the help files into one document.
