Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Namaste! Thanks for the wonderful software and "free" at that! I was wondering about the KCD calculations. In the previous version 3.0 you did not use the full Moon accuracy or something and the dashas were a little off??? Then you provided the short KCD calcs program which gave for more accuracy and the deha etc. Is the KCD as accurate as it seems to be just the same KCD as 3.0 without the accuracy of the KCD calc program. Not that a few days makes a lot of difference except when doing some more precise targetting of dates. It normally takes me a few months to get all the juice out of an orange such as this. In this case a lot of the presentation is so well done as to get more faster etc. What price were you contemplating for the Commercial version? OM Sri Ganapati Ki Jai!

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 Dear Majid/Kevin, For a particular chart, there may not be much difference between 4.1 and 3.0. But try tens of charts and you will see the difference. JHL 3.0 had precision in arc-seconds for non-Moon planets, but Moon's longitude could be wrong by a couple of arc-minutes! JHL 4.1 has a precision of the order of 0.01 arc-seconds for non-Moon planets and the error in Moon is within 1-2 arc-seconds. That's way better than JHL 3.0. This improvement by a factor of 100 makes a huge difference in the lagna of Tajaka annual charts too! JHL 4.1 still uses an analytical model. So Kalachakra dasa could still have an error of a few days. Commercial version will use an ephemeris and will be even more accurate and faster too. You asked what price I am contemplating. Well, I am not contemplating anything. I want to separate money for my astrological activities. I will hand over the software to SJVC towards the end of this year and SJVC will decide how much to charge. I only hope they don't charge too little to hurt the businesses of competitors or too much to put burden on astrologers and students who are not well off. The main goal of this program (on which I had to burn midnight oil on many days) was to help the Jyotish community in the pursuit of true knowledge. But it has to be done without hurting vendors.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 Namaste! Thanks for your detailed reply. I also send you kudos on the long task of programming (I tried it many times a few years back but got too frustrated) such a nice piece of software. I also like the idea that you are hoping to keep a happy medium in price. It certaintly helps me to us this software and I am sure the rest of the community will feel the same. God Willing I will be able to afford the commercial version. Majid... Om Sri Ganapati Ki Jai! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
