INTRODUCTION
============

Biorhythms allow you to predict how you (or anyone else!) will be feeling on any particular date. To make a prediction for somebody, all you need to know is their birthday. Predictions can be made for any date in the past, present or future. This program will even interpret the charts for you, to tell you what they mean in real terms.

A birthday database is included, allowing you to plot somebody's biorhythm chart by simply selecting their name in the program.

Full instructions are included in the program. Just press the Help key!


INSTALLATION
============

This program is compatible with the Psion S3a, S3c, 3mx and Siena.
