TIPS  FOR  QUICK  STARTUP


     Insert  the  first  MATCHMKR  disk into  your floppy  drive (or  unzip 
     MATCHMKR.ZIP  into  an  empty  temporary directory  like c:\junk)  and 
     select RUN after clicking on START in Windows 95/98.  Type  a:setup or 
     b:setup (or type c:\junk\setup) and hit  ENTER.  Follow  the on-screen 
     instructions.  When installation is completed, please exit and restart 
     Windows. Once you are back in  Windows, double-click  on the  MATCHMKR 
     icon (the planet Saturn) to start MATCHMKR.  Read  the information  in 
     the introduction window, then click on 'OK' to remove the window.

     You will now see four windows, the Natal Input Data window, the  Names 
     window, the Diurnal Input Data window, and the  Params window.   Click 
     on a name in the Names window.  The birth data  for that  name appears 
     in the Natal Input Data window.   You may  change this  data or  enter 
     data for  a different  person. The  Diurnal Input  Data window  is for 
     entering  the  data  for  transits  or  the  birth  data  for  another 
     individual.  If the '2nd Person' box is checked  in the  Diurnal Input 
     Data window, then clicking on a  name in  the Names  window will  make 
     that person's  birth data  appear in  the Diurnal  Input Data  window.  
     This allows you to compare one person's horoscope with another.   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 dual cosmodyne data for 
     the persons whose data is entered into the Input Data  windows 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.

     Additional data is displayed  in the  Data window  by clicking  on the 
     DATA  menu  item  in  the MATCHMKR  window. Select  the data  you want 
     displayed from amongst the many menu item choices.

     You may display single or double chartwheels by clicking on the WHEELS 
     menu item in the main MATCHMKR window.  Choose various combinations of 
     data from amongst the two types of wheels.  Once the Wheels window  is 
     displayed, you may display a list of aspects  or print  the chartwheel 
     to your printer in either a full page or half page arrangement. If the 
     chartwheel  fails  to  appear,  then  you  must  copy  the  files (use 
     Explorer) named  MATCHMKR.TTF & HORARY.TTF from your c:\windows\system 
     directory into your  c:\windows\fonts directory.  Consult your Windows 
     manual for help.

     Change program parameters by selecting the  OPTIONS menu  item in  the 
     main MATCHMKR window. Edit the options text box  as you  would if  you 
     were in Notepad or any other  Windows text  editing application.   The 
     values you change are the numbers in the  left-most column.   Click on 
     SAVE to save your changes.  Click on QUIT to leave the options window. 
     I suggest you immediately change options #18 - #24 to fit your locale.

     Help is available at any time by clicking on the HELP menu item in the 
     MATCHMKR window, then clicking on the topic of interest. I suggest you 
     read ALL the information under HELP - HINTS (How Do  I...? and  Tips), 
     especially the hint that tells you how to print out all the help files 
     into one document. Please also read the help under HELP-PARAMS  WINDOW
