Moon Mansions

To create a custom system of Lunar mansions, create a file 'moonstations.dat' in the format described below (this is a plain text file) and put it in the ZET program folder.

The format is:

name ; number of mansions ; 'equal' or 'nonequal' ; type ; optional lengths of mansions (if unequal)

 OR

name ; number of mansions ; 'cusp' ; type ; list of cusp coordinates



where type = 'ecliptic' or 'tropical' (the default) or 'sidereal'

NOTE 1: if the type is omitted, 'tropical' is assumed.
NOTE 2: See the example below for how to specify the lengths of mansions and the list of cusp coordinates.
NOTE 3: the 'ecliptic' type is the only one currently implemented.

EXAMPLE:

28 Tropical; 28; equal; ecliptic; tropical
28 Sidereal; 28; equal; ecliptic; sidereal
27 Sidereal; 27; equal; ecliptic; sidereal
27 Tropical; 27; equal; ecliptic; tropical
test 1; 27; nonequal; ecliptic; sidereal; 1)18°20'; 2)8°20'; 3)13°20'; ...; 27)13°20';
test 2; 28; cusp; 1)10; 2)22; 3)34; ...; 28)334;
test 3; 10; cusp; sidereal; 1)255°30'; 2)285°30'; ...; 10)200;

The first three lines in the example describe the preset systems.
