Introduction
------------

AstroMart is a complete software for calculating an 
astrological chart.

It is equally addressed to students of astrology, and to all 
those who are interested in this science. 

AstroMart allows you to enter the details of the person to be 
studied for the calculation of his or her astral chart, and 
calculates the position of the planets at the time of birth as 
well as the position of the astrological houses and aspects.

A variety of graphics and chart analysis is included in the 
software.

Vendors and BBS's
-----------------

This is a reduced version of the AstroMart software which I 
have decided to release as shareware. The author reserves all 
rights concerning this program, but will allow this specific 
version to be copied and distributed freely and without charge. 

It must be distributed with all its files, including this one.  
Even if the person who takes the program from you uses DOS, he 
may have a friend who uses Windows - DON'T distribute just the 
Windows or the DOS version.

Vendors and BBS's are asked to make themselves known if they 
have not been directly contacted by the author; this is 
important for future updates. This version may not be 
distributed in France.
