What's New in the World of Psych0's Astrolog Tool


-= Version 1.11

   My, my...  September 1998 my drives crashed, and my latest backup set
   me scrambling for three months of lost work.  It seems not much has
   been lost though (I must have been busy doing something else)...

   Though v1.10 was released, I doubt it made it to the public.  Let's
   pretend it never happened.


-= Changes from v1.00

   Some changes may be either lost in the code or just not recorded!

   * The new name is "Psych0's Astrology Tool" instead of just "Psych0's
     Astrolog Tool."  In accordance I may eventually include support of
     any worthy programs.  Suggestions always welcomed.

   * New command-line system.  This one is much, much more powerful,
     flexible and friendly.  It loosely resembles Astrolog's.

   * Astronumerological report implemented.

   * Plain-text report implemented.

   * Sorting!  Everything is now nicely and neatly in order.

   * Implemented planet-combonation report.  For example, all variations
     of Sun and Moon through all signs (144).  The bodies used herein
     are to be soon user definable.

   * Many more charts added to the database.

   * New celestial objects supported.

   * 32-bit 386 DOS executable work begun to allow access to more memory
     than the regular 16-bit DOS executable.  DJGPP 32-bit 386 DOS
     compiler support encoded.  Preparations for 32-bit OS/2 executable
     also started on the EMX compiler.

   * Sorting by last name?

   * Is that interactive mode done yet?  No!  The switch is there, if
     you are a very brave individual.  Warning: your computer may CRASH!

     PAT.EXE -INT

   * Another experimental feature for the adventurous: I have begun a
     feature to write data as Astrolog charts.  Some parts are not
     filled out correctly.  Beware: computer may CRASH!

     PAT (junk to read data) -wa (directory name)

     Each chart gets its own name defined by the last name.  Redundant
     last names ignored and mishandled.

   * Chinese Zodiac work done, but I'm not sure how to calculate the
     new year.  Any ideas, anyone?


-= Known Bugs, Imperfections, Suspicions, Idiocies, and Quirks

   * Do certain pieces of data disappear?  Individual's planets--not all
     of them, just certain ones.  Ha!

   * Program aesthetics need improvement, especially under the plain
     text dump.  When writing the time, the single digit minutes are
     left as one digit (eg: 23:5 should be 23:05).

     Persistant into this release?  I forgot to check.

   * Midnight (12:xx am) is interpreted as noon.  There is a similar
     problem when deciding if a location is north and south or east or
     west when coming close to the Prime Meridian or Equator.  Because
     these are minor bugs, I will let them pass in this release.

     Persistant into this release?  Good question.

   * Programmers: 32-bit DOS executable locks up at random points, and
     OS/2 port needs fnsplit() and fnmerge().

   * I should write a few lines on the program's installation.


-= Hopes for Tomorrow

   * Increased aesthetic beauty of reports.
      * Pretty colors.
      * Nice format.
      * HTML generation.
   * New reports:
      * House system report support: planets in house, location of ruler.
      * Aspect report.
      * Chinese zodiac.
      * Day of week report.
      * Midpoints.
      * Relationship compatibility.
      * Various astronumerological reports.
      * Solar flare curve.
   * Store/use comments.
   * Sorting by last name.
   * Reproduce Astrolog chart files.
   * Interactive mode:
       * Load Astrolog for display.
       * Load Astrolog for calculations.
   * Linux support.
   * Definable interpretational guide?
