   Introduction

   It's the same old story: after looking for years for a really
 good astrology program for the Amiga (or the PC !?!), I've decided to write one. By saying 'good' I don't mean a program only capable of very precise calculations (there are plenty of them even for the PC ;), neither simply a device filled with tons of more or less useful options: what I was looking for was a program capable of completely substituting a hand-drawn horoscope, thus providing a very accurate - but above all intuitive - image of the zodiac, so that the reader could easily concentrate on the interpretation without spending too much time figuring out what a certain graphic output could really mean.
   Obviously, this point of view could easily be rejected by those who - more or less unaware of Astrology - give the maximum importance to the ability of a program to provide 'automatically' all the intepretations written in plain english: although in a future version of my program I plan to add them, they are meant solely as a quick reference or reminder because (at least with the actual computer generation) no program will be able to substituite the mind in the most difficult phase of interpreting an horoscope: the synthesis of all the single meanings in a global picture.


   Features

 - Computing of Birth-Horoscope and Transits' Analysis.

 - A very intuitive drawing of the Horoscope with clear Planets,
 Signs and Aspects.

 - Planets' images with astronomic feel.

 - Online Help activated by simple mouse movements.

 - Aligning algorithm automatically avoiding overlayed images of
 Planets.

 - Intelligent Data Entry Parser allowing multiple ways of
 entering the same data (eg. Time 08.30 could be entered as
 8:30 or 8.3, etc.).

 - Easy access to all functions: no complicate parameters are
 needed, everything is achieved with a mouse click.

 - Artistic drawing - and therefore printing - of the Horoscope:
 the output of this program - if compared with many others - can be
 defined pleasant to the eye.

 - Full possibility to LOAD, SAVE and PRINT data (not in the DEMO
 Version).

 - Although high-end PCs are fully supported, every
 function will be available (but slower!) even on a 80286-based machine.

 - Although recommended, this program does not require any hard disk.

 - Full compatibility with PC-Task 4.2, a PC Emulator for the Amiga.


   Requirements

   The minimum requirements to run Neptune are:

 - 80286 IBM-PC/AT compatible.

 - MS-DOS 3.3.

 - VGA video adapter.

 - Mouse.

 - 460K of free conventional memory.

   Neptune has been successfully tested on the following configurations:

   Platform   Processor   MHz   RAM   OS              Special

   14 Quit

   NOTE:
   Some buttons can be unselectable either because appropriate data entry is needed first, or because they are unavailable in the demo version.

   Use the depth gadget (the small squared button at the upper right corner of the screen) to cycle through the windows overlayed on
 the right.

   Transient planets are always drawn in an inner circle, Radical planets in an outer one.

By selecting paste from inside a program like PAINT or WORDPAD (which are included in Windows95/98), you will easily transfer the horoscope picture to any document or drawing and, obviously, be able to print it).

  12: Select this button to create a text file containing all horoscope datas, which will be saved, in the program directory, in MS-DOS or Windows95 format, according to your choices. You will then be able to load this file with any word processor or editor (like WORDPAD or NOTEPAD) - eventually modify it - and print it:

   Registering

   The demo version has the following options disabled:

   If you want to receive the registered version, pay the registration fee and a full working version of Neptune will be sent to you via EMail or conventional mail according to your wishes.

   IMPORTANT NOTE: To be able to receive the program by EMail, make sure your Mail Box supports File Attachement!

   Registration Fee you have to pay in order to have the program sent to you by Mail/EMail:

                      EMail              Mail (Floppy Disk)

Italian Lire          Lit  30.000.-      Lit 40.000.-

German Marks           DM      30.-       DM     40.-


   Payment types

   Cash
   This is the preferred payment since it is the cheapest and fastest. Simply put the banknotes in an envelope, making sure they are NOT visible looking through the envelope (for better safety you can wrap the banknotes in a sheet of paper).
   But consider two things:
      1.Never send coins!
      2.I will take no responsability if your money should get lost...

   Eurocheque
   You can send an Eurocheque if you are living in Europe, but make sure it is really an Eurocheque and not a private cheque.

  National Cheque
   Use it only if you live in Germany. No additional cost.

  Foreign Cheque
  If you want to use this very expensive type of payment, the registration fee has to become:

                      EMail              Mail (Floppy Disk)

Italian Lire          Lit  40.000.-      Lit 50.000.-

US Dollars            US$      30.-      US$     40.-

German Marks           DM      40.-       DM     50.-

   Postal Money Order (PMO)
   If you choose this labor-intensive payment method, you have to visit your local post office and place a PMO by paying in your own currency.

  The Basics of Astrology

   If your knowledge of Astrology limits to the name of your sign, be aware that this old 'science' could offer you something more than what you can read in your newspaper's daily horoscope. Indeed one of the most powerful possibilities of Astrology is not so much the prediction of future events (which might be achieved with the analisys of transits), but a quite deep psychological analisys
of your personality.
   The principal instruments Astrology makes use of are:

   Planetary positions in Houses
   Planetary positions in Signs
   Aspects among Planets
   Houses' positions in Signs

   And for prediction:
   
   Transient Planets' positions in Houses
   Transient Planets' positions in Signs
   Aspects among Transient and Radical Planets

   The accurate analisys of these elements provides a huge amount of data, which can be joined to obtain a synthetic description of your psyche (highest accuracy), tendencies, tastes, background and soma, and in some cases to be able to - if not really predict - know with a certain degree of probability how a certain situation could develop.


  Glossary

   Transits are the positions of the planets of a certain date in the sky of your birth. Their analisys allows - with certain limits - to
predict the future.

   Radical means relative to the instant of your birth.

   Troubleshooting

   After launching NEPTUNE.EXE or SETUP.EXE, I get a 'file missing'
 error message

   Your ZIP archive might be corrupted.

   Solution: try launching SETUP once more. If the problem
 persists, you will have to download another DEMO version or contact the author for a REGISTERED version.

   It does not seem to be possible to LOAD, SAVE or PRINT anything!

   This is normal in the DEMO Version.

   Nothing seems to happen when 'T-T Pos' or 'T-T Neg' buttons
 are selected

   This frequent phoenomenon derives from the fact that only very tight aspects orbits are considered (as their influence in the analysis of Transits is notoriously low).

   I don't know anything about Astrology!

   This problem can be more or less easily solved reading some good books about the subject. But caution needs to be taken in their choice because not many of them are really good. An example of good Author is Lisa Morpurgo.
