How To Use The SID Editor

The Succinct Implications Database (SID) Editor provides you with the facility to build your own explanations of zodiac events. You can start from scratch or start with a copy of any of the public (shared) databases (okay, currently there's only one database). You can keep your SID private or share it with others. Even when shared, only you can make changes to your database. The SID Editor has these features: multi-level undo, backup, restore and print entire SID.

The SID Editor uses a font face named "ZodiacJaDy" which may not be installed on your computer. No big deal - you can still use the editor just fine because when displayed without the Zodiac font, plain character mnemonic symbols are displayed. See the charts below. Of course, if you don't have the Zodiac font, then you won't see the glyphs.

You can get the ZodiacJaDy TrueType font ZODIACJD.ttf.
Linux users may need these: ZODIACJD.afm and ZODIACJD.t1a.
