[Guest guest]

OM KLEEM KRSHNAAYA NAMAH

Dear Narasimhaji,

Thank you for your wonderful work.Such a exhaustive software nobody will give

for free but you have given and this indicates your broadmindedness.

As per your suggestions,I corrected the default place to Kuwait.

Thanks to you again ,

With best regards,

Ramadas Rao.

Namaste all,

 

If you downloaded JHoraLite 5.0 and have any bugs or misbehavior to report,

please send a personal email to pvr (AT) charter (DOT) net by private email. I will fix

them in a couple of weeks and release a more stable version.

 

So far two bugs have been pointed out (thank you Ramdas Rao ji and KPK ji).

 

Bug 1: Setting the Default Location

 

Behavior: If you enter a city name, timezone, longitude and latitude in the

birthdata and "set the current location as the default", only the timezone,

longitude and latitude are saved. The city name is not saved and "South

Grafton, Massachusetts, USA" is displayed instead, even though the timezone,

longitude and latitude of your place are correctly used.

 

More details: If you select a city from the atlas (which is big - 2.5 million

cities - in the commercial version but small - only 1,000+ cities - in the lite

version) and set it as the default location, everything is fine. But if you

enter your own co-ordinates and name, then name is ignored.

 

Temporary work-around: First close the JHoraLite software. Go to C:\ drive in

your hard disk (use explorer or file manager to do it). Look for a file called

jhl.ini in it. It is a text file. Open it with notepad. Look for South^Grafton

and Massachusetts,^USA. Change them to the city name and the country name you

want. Just make sure that the names contain no spaces. If there are spaces,

replace spaces by caret (^). For example, replace "South^Grafton" by

"New^Orleans" if you want "New Orleans". Then save jhl.ini, close notepad and

re-open JHoraLite software. Now all the new charts created will mention this

city and country.

 

Just make sure that you don't mess around with anything else in jhl.ini, which

can have disastrous consequences. In the worst case, just delete the file and

open the software to create a new jhl.ini file with the default preference

settings.

 

Bug 2: Ashtakavarga in 800x600 display settings

 

Behavior: If you have a small monitor and use 800x600 display, then clicking

"Show ashtakavarga of this chart" pop-up menu item on a chart makes JHoraLite

crash.

 

More details: If you use 800x600 display, you will see that your display looks

totally different from the screenshot provided on the download website. In the

case of 800x600 displays, JHoraLite uses a simplified display. There is no

ashtakavarga display in the key info view. Trying to go to a view pointed to by

an uninitialized variable is making the program crash. This problem is not

present if you use 1024x768 or 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 display. It occurs only

with 800x600 and 640x480 displays.

 

Temporary work-around: Do not click "Show ashtakavarga of this chart" on a

chart. Instead, go to the "Strengths" upper tab and "Ashtakavarga" lower tab

within the strengths tab. Then ashtakavarga is displayed. By clicking on "Show

ashtakavarga of this chart", you can select, rasi, dasamsa etc. By clicking

"Natal chart or derived chart (Tajaka/TP)" you can choose to view the AV of the

Tajaka chart (provided you are viewing the Tajaka annual chart) or that of the

natal chart.

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Om Namo Bhagavathe vaasudevaaya!

Namaskaram Dear Mr.Narasimha Rao Garu,

Sincere and heartfelt thanks for the JHora Lite software.One query though.The

softawre does'nt have many places in India for the Lat-Long co-ordinates in

it's database.So when we type in the data ourselves,as suggested by you,the

name of the place changes in the jhl.ini file.But the sunrise and sunset

timings remain the same and show the timings of South^Grafton again.This error

will affect the final chart readings?Any remedies?

Warm Regards

Dear P.V.R. Narashima Rao,

 

Thank-you very much for this precious tool.

 

I wish to point out a bug. When calculating Vimsottari dasa for a

birth on 18th december 1936, the dasas start from 21st april 1929.

 

Best regards.
