Introduction
L'ASTROLOGUE is an astrological software, intended to compute, draw and
interpret natal charts on the Macintosh.
It has been developed on Macintosh because there was a lack of such
programs on this platform. Planetary and houses positions are computed
with great accuracy (less than one arc minute in longitude) and the
calculation routines are the result of an intricate research and were
tested over a long period of time.
L'Astrologue should be of great help for amateur or professional
astrologers.
Its distribution as a shareware, gives us the oppurtunity to propose it at
a low fee, in comparison of what you can find in this area.
