Import from ZET 7

The Import Wizard in ZET 8 assists carrying over settings and data from ZET 7, if you used this version of ZET and it is installed on your computer.

The Wizard is summoned by:

- selecting "Settings" | "Import from ZET 7..."from the main menu, or
- clicking the "Settings" Toolbar button and selecting the "Import from ZET 7..." menu item.

1) When invoking the Import Wizard for the first time, you must specify the path to the ZET 7 installation folder: check the Item #1 radio-button, and click the "OK" button. A Path selector window opens, enabling you to locate the folder. When the ZET 7 installation folder is found, its path is displayed in the status line of the Import window. From now on, when invoking the Import Wizard, you can select items from the list and click "OK".

2) Your location - copies the Location.ini file to your ZET 8 installation. This file contains the name and geographical coordinates of your city and the name of the time zone table which applies to it.

3) Orb Tables - copies all *.asp files from the ZET 7 ASPECTS folder.

4) Databases - copies all *.zbs files from the ZET 7 DBase folder.

5) History - copies the CHist.ini file, containing the History log of charts calculated.

6) Virtual objects - not implemented. If you need to, you can manually copy the required lines of data from the [ZET]\LANGUAGE\English\Virtuals.lst file.

7) Library - copies all files of interpretation texts (*.txt) and bookshelf descriptions (*.bib) from the [ZET]\LANGUAGE\English\TXT\ folder.

8) Correct Book headers - fixes interpretation texts (*.txt files) so that the old codes for Selena (14), Proserpine (15) and Chiron (16) are replaced by "Sel", "Pro" and "CHI", as required by ZET 8.

You can at any time independently use Item #8 "Correct Book headers", if you wish to you use interpretation texts marked-up in ZET 7 format in ZET 8.

9) Fonts - imports ZET 7 fonts other than the standard Font16.fnt font (which has an enhanced version in ZET 8). A File selector dialog is displayed, allowing you to select the ZET 7 font for importing.

10) Configurations - selecting this option displays the following window:

Clicking the Open button at left displays a list of existing ZET 7 configurations. Check the ones which you wish to inport, and click OK. It is not recommended to import the predefined "English" and "Uranian" configurations. NOTE: you should adjust the size of the chart wheel after importing configurations.

After completing the import, you should exit ZET 8 and restart the program.
