TIPS FOR QUICK STARTUP


     Insert the N_INTERP disk into your floppy drive (or unzip N_INTERP.ZIP 
     into an empty temporary directory like  c:\junk) and  select RUN  from 
     the FILE menu of Program Manager  or RUN  after clicking  on START  in 
     Windows 95. Type a:setup or b:setup  (or type  c:\junk\setup) and  hit 
     ENTER. Follow the on-screen instructions. Close  the DOS  window after 
     the files have been decompressed by clicking on the 'X', if necessary. 
     When installation is completed,  please exit  and re-start  Windows so 
     that changes to your WIN.INI file can take effect. Once  you are  back 
     in Windows, double-click on the N_INTERP icon to start N_INTERP.  Read 
     the information in the introduction window,  then click  on 'CONTINUE' 
     to remove the window.

     You will now see  two windows,  the Natal  Input Data  window and  the 
     Names window. Click on a name in the Names window. The birth  data for 
     that person now appears in the Natal Input Data window. You may change 
     this data or enter data for a different person. Data entered into  the 
     Natal Input Data window can be saved to file by clicking on  the 'Save 
     to Disk' command button. You will be given a choice  as to  which data 
     file you want the data saved.

     When you are satisfied with your data entry, click on  the OK  command 
     button to  start the  calculations. Shortly,  the natal  data for  the 
     person whose data is entered into the Natal Input Data  window appears 
     in the Data window. All data and help information will appear in  this 
     window. Whatever appears in this window or has appeared in this window 
     since the buffer was last cleared can be  printed to  your printer  or 
     saved to a disk file. Click  in HELP  for more  information about  the 
     DATA window.

     Other data is displayed in the  Data window  by clicking  on the  DATA 
     menu  item  in  the  main N_INTERP  window. Select  the data  you want 
     displayed from amongst the  menu item  choices. Go  through each  menu 
     item and see what data that menu item presents. You  can always  click 
     on HELP for more information.

     A chartwheel can be displayed by clicking on WHEEL. After  displaying, 
     you may reproduce an ASCII chart in the Data window, view a listing of 
     aspects in a separate window, change the orbs for those aspects, print 
     the  chartwheel  in  either  full  or  half  page  format,  or  view a 
     chartwheel with proportional or  non-proportional houses.   Go through 
     each menu item and see for yourself.

     A natal analysis may be generated  by clicking  on the  'NATAL REPORT' 
     menu item. You may print the analysis to  a printer  or save  it to  a 
     file.  Page  up and  down the  report by  clicking on  the appropriate 
     command  button.   The  HOME,  END, PAGE  UP and  PAGE DOWN  keys also 
     navigate you through the on-screen analysis.

     Change program parameters by selecting the  OPTIONS menu  item in  the 
     N_INTERP window. Edit the options text box as you would if you were in 
     Notepad or any other Windows text editing application.   Please review 
     options #18 - #24 and change  the settings  to reflect  your location. 
     Click on SAVE to save your changes. Click on QUIT to exit  the options 
     window.

     The  HEADER  menu  item  allows  you   to  change   your  personalized 
     information for the generated analysis and the chartwheel.

     Help is available at any time by clicking on the HELP menu item in the 
     N_INTERP window, then clicking on the topic of interest. The last menu 
     item under HELP allows you to print out ALL the  help files.   NOTE: I 
     suggest you at least look at HINTS under HELP.

     Experiment with N_INTERP. It will not take long for you  to become  an 
     expert  user.  If you need help, feel free to e-mail me after you have 
     reviewed all the HELP files.
