     The interpretations in this  program were  written by  Guy Straley  of 
     Flat Broke Software (CompuServe 70402,1743).  This file describes  the 
     conditions  under  which  you  can modify  the transit  interpretation 
     files. These files are named:

                                    SUN.TXT
                                  MERCURY.TXT
                                   VENUS.TXT
                                    MARS.TXT
                                  JUPITER.TXT

     Each file contains all the interpretations  for the  major aspects  of 
     the  transiting  planet (namely,  the Sun  in SUN.TXT)  to each  natal 
     planet. There are 5 major aspects, the conjunction,  the sextile,  the 
     square, the trine, and  the opposition.  There are  ten natal  planets 
     including the Sun and the Moon.

     You may edit any of the .TXT files with a  standard word  processor or 
     text editor such as EDIT, the editor that  comes with  DOS 5.0  or DOS 
     6.2.  See your DOS manual. You may use Word Perfect or a  similar word 
     processor, but you must be sure to save  any changes  in ASCII  format 
     (sometimes called DOS text).

     There  are  several rules  and conditions  which each  .TXT file  must 
     follow. They are as follows:

     1. Do NOT leave a blank line at the top of the file.

     2. ALWAYS leave one and only one blank line at the end of the file.

     3. The aspect must be the first line  before the  interpretation. Each 
     word must be capitalized and all other letters must be in lower case.

     4. Any interpretation must be in one paragraph. Do not  use more  than 
     one paragraph and please  separate interpretations  with one  and only 
     one blank line.

     5. Start all lines in column 6 and do not end each line beyond  column 
     75.

     6. Use the current files as examples.

     7. Do not make your interpretations over 13 lines.
