Where are the Windows Mobile, Palm and Apple pages?
Windows Mobile is all the way up to version 7 and I didn't want to try to support it with Pocket PC program build for that was built for version 3. Palm became WebOS, discontinued by HP and not supported. The Apple program was actually a Java app and the interface needed revision to run better on Macs. A revised Java
version that works better on Macs can be found on the Home page under What's New.

Using Jyotish Tools for Windows with 16:9 displays. Most computer monitors sold these days are 16:9 aspect ratio LCDs. Jyotish Tools was designed on a 4:3 aspect ratio monitor. Hence some windows may cut off information at the bottom. To correct this just resize the width of the Jyotish Tools window until information at the bottom reappears. Usually Jyotish Tools will keep this width the next time you run the program.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
- Q:Does Jyotish Tools work on Windows 7?
A:Installations on two computers running Windows 7 installed and ran Jyotish Tools for Windows. When the registration key was entered the program crashed but when the program was restarted in ran okay and was registered.
- Q:Does Jyotish Tools work on Windows Vista?
A:There have been some recent reports of failures perhaps due to Service Pack updates however results are inconclusive. Try the free trial first.
- Q: I entered my data but the ascendant is wrong.
A: This can be for several reasons. The most common is that horoscopes you have done before were for western "tropical" astrology. Jyotish is "sidereal" astrology and there can be around a 23 degree difference. To understand this more fully take some classes from an experienced Jyotish teacher.
Another common reason is the incorrect input of the time zone. In Junior Jyotish the time zone was automatically adjusted for east or west of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) however this caused problems with cities located near GMT so with Jyotish Tools for Windows and Android, Tropical Skies and Quick Jyotish you need to enter a + for zones west of GMT and - for zones east of GMT.
