Free service and penalty 2

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimha,

 

Excellent forethought taken in your decision. Also, a very logical reply below.

 

>>>By the way, I feel that the negative impact on others is being exaggerated.

While my software, with its elaborate calculations and options, is ideal for

researchers and students, it is not upto mark for professional practitioners

who don't need all those calculations but need beautiful print-outs, ease of

use, nice look and feel etc. I left JHora lacking so as to minimize the impact

on others. I purposely ignored the advice of some well-wishers to give a

professional look and feel to JHora and add some conveniences that professional

practitioners may want. Most commercial software packages have a very clear edge

over JHora in this area. JHora is mainly for researchers.<<<

 

Cheers - Sateesh.

views in this matter and the reference to my chart. This was not an easy

decision for me. I am aware of the negative impact it may have on some and took

this step only after thinking about it for a long time. The benefit of

facilitating a lot of genuine research by giving a free tool that is rich in

calculations and options to Jyotish enthusiasts seemed to me to outweigh the

drawbacks. I also believe that the value of this tool will be enhanced

considerably after I open up the source code in a couple of years or so. It is

my vision that an extremely powerful free tool will be available to Jyotish

researchers in a decade or so. This is just the first step, but an essential

one. I am more motivated by the long-term vision. I greatly respect the work

being done by so many other software makers with excellent intentions and great

contributions to the Jyotish community. I do not intend to harm anybody. I

sincerely hope that there is a boom in Jyotish in coming decades and that

everybody, including researchers, software makers and professional

practitioners, benefit from it. By the way, I feel that the negative impact on

others is being exaggerated. While my software, with its elaborate calculations

and options, is ideal for researchers and students, it is not upto mark for

professional practitioners who don't need all those calculations but need

beautiful print-outs, ease of use, nice look and feel etc. I left JHora lacking

so as to minimize the impact on others. I purposely ignored the advice of some

well-wishers to give a professional look and feel to JHora and add some

conveniences that professional practitioners may want. Most commercial software

packages have a very clear edge over JHora in this area. JHora is mainly for

researchers. May Jupiter's light shine on
