Astrology software

Always backup your charts' database before installing newer version of Urania. Before making backup close Urania, then copy subdirectory "Osoby" (subdirectory relative to file Urania.exe) onto CD-ROM, external drive or any other medium of your choice. I also recommend to back up charts' database regularly (like with your routinely scheduled backups).

Note: Install program leaves existing database files unaffected by default but only if the dates are newer than default timestamp (> 1998-04-17). I use BDE (Borland Database Engine) and Paradox ".db" database file format.

After install, but before running software, run "dbconv.exe" to upgrade chart database file format. It is located in the same folder as files "Urania.exe" and "UraniaLt.exe", default path is "C:/AstroSfera/Urania[...]/dbconv.exe", where substitute "[...]" into "Lite" or "Trial" (optionally further expanded with a version number). In older versions default path was "C:\Program Files\AstroSfera\Urania[...]". If "dbconv.exe" frozen during actualising database files or other problems arose, please restart your computer and run "dbconv.exe" before running Urania or any other sofwtare that is using BDE from Borland.

If newer version is installed, and astrology symbols dissapeared, please restart your computer. If this does not help (still there are letter or no symbols instead of astrology symbols), please restart your computer again, and before running software, go to "Control Panel->Fonts" in system, and manullay delete four fonts with names starting as "Uranium...", then manually add all "Uranium" family fonts from directory "C:\AstroSfera\Urania[...]\Fonts\".
