This program is a version of the I Ching. For centuries the I Ching has been used both as an oracle to predict the future, and as a source of deep wisdom. The querent asks a question, then drops three coins six times. Each drop determines one line of a hexagram, whether is solid or broken, moving or unmoving. The resulting six-lined figure is then interpreted.
New in version 2.0!
The Book of Changes now features:
--background music
--the ability to save your hexagrams as PICT files
--greater flexibility for studying the hexagram before looking it up
--registration through Kagi
--eradicated the last remaining typos

Registration
The Book of Changes is $15 shareware. It is not disabled in any way, but if you use it, it would be nice if you paid for it. Please use the enclosed "Register" application to pay by credit card, check, or money order.
Open the "Register" program and enter your name, your e-mail address, and the number of single user licenses you wish to purchase. Save or Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi. More specifics on the Register program to follow. Kagi handles my payment processing.
If paying with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can e-mail or fax the data to Kagi. Their e-mail address is shareware@kagi.com and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589. You can either Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an e-mail message or you can Save the data to a file and you can attach that file to an e-mail message. There is no need to compress the data file, it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Payments sent via e-mail are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an e-mail acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet e-mail address you will receive an e-mail acknowledgement.
If you are paying with Cash or USD Check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:
Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-QXBB
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA
You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via check, it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies.
This software is provided as is, and I'm not responsible for any weirdness that may happen as a result of its use. "The Book of Changes" is for entertainment purposes only. In other words, if you make a bad decision, don't blame me. ;-)
