Pullen can be copied and distributed freely, but no profit must be made from it. ********************************************************************** The program has not much to do with Astrodienst. It is distributed by Astrodienst as a service for the astrological community. Future updates will also be available. Astrodienst cooperated with the author of the program to make a few improvements. Astrodienst has also attached its planetary routines Swiss Ephemeris to this project. ********************************************************************** Note on revisions: Because ASTROLOG is under development by Walter Pullen and is often updated, the actual revision number which is distributed may be different from 5.31. and the file names may have different numbers. *********************************************************************** File astrolog.dat This file contains the default settings for ASTROLOG. It is setup somewhat different than the original version distributed by Walter Pullen, reflecting the fact that Astrodienst is in Switzerland, not on the American west coast. ********************************************************************** Ephmeris files: The extended ephemeris files for the full Swiss Ephemeris time range 5400 BC - 5400 AD are available at ftp://ftp.astro.com/pub/swisseph/ephe
