<p class=FA> ** VERSION 7.70 **</p>
<p class=FA> </p>
<p class=A>Documentation for Astrolog version 7.70 (April 2024):</p>
<p class=A>This file contains a complete list of all the features available in
Astrolog, and documentation on how to use each option. The file is divided into
ten sections:</p>
<p class=A>1) <b><a href="#summary">Summary</a>:</b> A summary of the program
and a list of its main features.</p>
<p class=A>2) <b><a href="#switch">Command Switch List</a>:</b> A summary of
all features which are accessed via command line switches and parameters is
listed, along with the single key press commands that can be given to a
windowed command line version of the program (such as the X Windows version) to
change the display in various ways.</p>
<p class=A>3) <b><a href="#command">Command Switch Description</a>:</b> The
list of command switches and keys is repeated, but after each option is given a
full description of the details of the feature.</p>
<p class=A>4) <b><a href="#main">Text Display</a>:</b> Descriptions of things
that appear in Astrolog text displays are described. This consists of
describing how to enter chart information into the program, and how to
interpret what is seen in the standard main display.</p>
<p class=A>5) <b><a href="#file">Files</a>:</b> Details of default settings, for
compile time options and in the default configuration file, are described,
along with using Astrolog files in general.</p>
<p class=A>6) <b><a href="#graphics">Graphics</a>:</b> Next is a description of
the different graphic chart displays and how they are organized, for versions
such as MS Windows and X Windows. (Looking for a quick display to prove
Astrolog was worth downloading or compiling? With graphics try: astrolog -Xi -Xn
-XG!)</p>
<p class=A>7) <b><a href="#windows">Windows Version</a>:</b> Then is discussed
Astrolog for MS Windows, and a description of the menu and dialog interface it
offers.</p>
<p class=A>8) <b><a href="#express">AstroExpressions</a>:</b> This section
describes AstroExpressions, which are programmable customizations to Astrolog
that dont require recompiling the program.</p>
<p class=A>9) <b><a href="#compile">Compiling</a>:</b> Next is a section on
compiling Astrolog if you have the source code files, as opposed to an
executable ready to run, as well as how to compile and run Astrolog on Unix
based systems.</p>
<p class=A>10) <b><a href="#history">History</a>:</b> Finally is a section
about the history of Astrolog, listing all the different versions, when they
were released, and what was introduced in each version.</p>
