Argus 4 - download
Use this download if you wish to try the program or if you purchased it with "electronic delivery". The download will install the program on your computer. Initially, it will be limited to horoscopes for year 2005. To have a fully working program, you need to purchase the program to get a full license, or get a free temporary license, which will let you try it full-feature for 4 weeks. To get a temporary license, send us an email. The license you get is five bits of data (serial numbers, your full name, control-code etc), which you type into the registration dialog box in the program.
To get a full license, you fill in the order form which will appear when you click the price list option on our website. You can pay bycredit-card or bank transfer.
To install the program, just click the SETUPARG4.EXE below and choose OPEN when the dialog appears asking if you will open or save to disk. When the download is ready the installation starts automatically, just follow the instructions.
If you do a second install later and you let it use the same installation folder, the installation will ask if you wish to overwrite your existing data. If you just press OK, you may loose the birthdata, you may have typed in, if you did not make a backup. Argus has a backup facility, which you can use to minimize the risk of data loss.
The manual can be opened by clicking the second link below. The opening may fail if you do not have the Adobe reader installed on your computer. If so, it can be downloaded from www.adobe.com

REVISION 13: Minor corrections and adjustments of the program means, that from time to time new revisions of the program will appear. Your current revision number is visible on the programs titlebar just after "Argus 4.0". To see what is changed in the different revisions, click here: Revision-history. A revision like this can be downloaded by clicking the link below and select "open" from the download menu. The installation is automatic, but will ask you if you wish to install in the default C:\ARGUS4 folder, which is where Argus is normally installed. So just click "next" unless you specifically know, that you installed Argus 4 in a different folder. This installation is just a patch replacing the "engine" of the program. It will not change your data or preferences.
Install Revision 13 (792 kB)Argus 3 (for existing users)
If you are already using Argus 3 and need a replacement or an upgrade, you can use this download. This way you can get a complete fresh installation. You do risk to overwrite your existing data, even if the installer will ask you before doing so. When installed, you will need to insert your personal registration data, which you received when you originally purchased the program. If you have lost this data, send us an email for a replacement.
Further down this page, you'll find a simpler upgrade (revision 27) which just patches your existing version with a new kernel, and you will not risk your data. If you are in doubt, you should use this first.
To download, just doubleclick the filename below and choose open and follow the instructions. Alternatively you can choose save to disk. Save anywhere on your system. When downloaded, just double-click the downloaded file.
SETUPARGDEMO.EXE (Size: 2.3 Mbytes)
ARGUS accessories, patches and updates
(for existing Argus 3 users)These downloads are for existing Argus users. You should save the downloaded stuff to your ARGUS directory. Large files are compressed to .exe files. In that case, you will need to run the exe-file clicking it, so that its components can be unpacked. In case of an update, for instance a new revision, your old PCA.EXE will be overwritten. This process is irreversible unless you have made a proper backup of your whole Argus directory and preferredly also its subdirectory(ies).
PCA.EXE revision 27 Upgrade
The revision upgrade just replaces the "engine" in your existing Argus 3 installation. So you must have an existing installation of ARGUS installed to be able to use the downloadable upgrade.
To upgrade, just click the link below (ARG27-UPGRADE.EXE). The download dialog will then ask you if you want to open or save on disk. The easiest is just to open. Dependant on your internet connection, this will take up to a few minutes. When opened, a confirmation popup will ask you if it is OK to install to C:\ARGUS. Unless you specifically have installed Argus elsewhere, just click OK. The installation itself takes only a few seconds.
Now start your Argus as usual and make sure, that the title bar shows PCA ARGUS 3.1-27 followed by your serial number and license name
Updating the PCA.EXE from a revision before 21 (you can see the rev.no in the Argus Help | about-box) will need an additional user number for the registration, before the program will run properly. If the program after a minute or so produces a "control code wrong" message, you need a new user ID. Just write us an email quoting your current info box information, especially: User name, Serial number and "Features" list. We will then provide the control code needed, which you just need to enter into the info-box.
To check what's new since your revision, look at the revision history.

ated to cover the windows features added with Argus. The first part is general information with examples, and the second part is a complete library function reference also with examples.
