******************************************************************************
* IMPORTATNT NOTE:  THIS ARCHIVE CONTAINS A FIXED VERSION OF ASTROLOG WITH
* THE ASTFIX PATCHES APPLIED!  YOU DON'T NEED ASTFIX.LHA!
******************************************************************************

Astrolog version 4.40 is a powerful, customizable, and platform independent
astrology chart calculation program, used in 20+ countries on six continents.
It is 100% freeware and requires no registration fee.  :) The complete source
code is available.  Astrolog features:  wheels, aspects, midpoints,
relationship charts, transits, progressions, some interpretations,
astro-graphy, local horizon, constellations, planet orbits, dispositors,
various influence charts, biorhythms, different zodiacs, central planets, 13
house systems, 8400 year ephemeris, asteroids, Uranians, fixed stars, Arabic
parts, script files and macros, PC screen graphics, X11 Windows graphics,
smooth animation of charts, graphic files in PostScript, Windows metafile, and
bitmap formats, and more!

******************************************************************************
* INSTALLATION
******************************************************************************

Read the "Distfile" for details about the files in this archive.  Copy the 
executable (astrolog.000 or astrolog.030 respectively) somewhere into your 
path and rename it to "astrolog".  Copy the config file "astrolog.dat" into
the same directory as where you put the executable.  Now try out

  astrolog -i now -X

(... and press `q' to quit)

You might also want to play around with the default graphics resolution in
the file "astrolog.dat" (line 146).  I use

:Xw 554 554

Read the file HELPFILE.440!

* CHANGES IN THE SOURCE CODE OF AST44SRC.ZIP
******************************************************************************

astrolog.h line 1167 & extern.h line 127:

#ifdef PI
#undef PI
#endif /*PI*/

astrolog.c: return type of main() changed from `void' to `int'

data.c:115: initializer element is not constant

	FILE *S = stdout;  /* initialization moved to main() */


general.c:652:  sign = (int)floor(deg / 30.0);
                            ^^^^^
	otherwise the degree value 'd' might become negative


general.c:663:  d = (int)floor(deg / 15.0);
                         ^^^^^
	otherwise the minutes value 'm' might become negative

----

astrolog.h
	Added some fields to struct gi and some #includes for the AMIGA.
	Changed the default input search path to "PROGDIR:"

xgeneral.c
xscreen.c
	Implementation of Amiga graphic support.  See #ifdef AMIGA for
	the relevant parts.  Some changes had to be made because of the
	#else clauses which expected everything which was not X11 to be
	PCG.

ellipse.s
	Here we call LVO_DrawEllipse() via GfxBase.  We need this because
	Astrolog's ellipse routine is called DrawEllipse() as well.
        This file is needed on Amiga *only*.

io.c
	':' has been introduced as a legal path seperator like '/'.
	Astrolog first attempts to read `astrolog.dat' from the current
	directory (as usual) but then (if that fails) it looks in it's
	own directory `PROGDIR:astrolog.dat'.

amiga.c
	Routines to initialize and close Amiga graphics.
