U Myint Sein

- He is my childhood friend.
- He is an alumnus of PPBRS, SPHS and Institute of Economics.
- He is a founding member and Principal at Burma Astro Research Bureau (BARB).
- He asked me if I can help him speed up some Veda processes (e.g. generation of a Natal Horoscope).
- I assigned two students Ko Win Latt and Ko Zaw Tun and supervised them for the Veda projects.
Ko Win Latt

- He owned a computer and was also an excellent programmer.
- Under my supervision and with the guidance of U Myint Sein, Ko Win Latt came up with three versions.
- He named them WinHoro V3, V6 and V9.
- V3 produces the “basic” horoscope with Yathi (Rasi), Bawa and Nawin (Navamsa). It is also known as “Tri Cekka Zatar” referring to the three parts. It takes some time (a few minutes to an hour) if done manually.
- V6 produces a better horoscope.
- V9 produces the best horoscope.
- WinHoro was implemented using BASIC (an interpretive language).
- BASIC (Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) was designed by Professors Kemeny & Kurtz for use with the Dartmouth College Time Sharing System (CSS). Bill Gates and Paul Allen implemented “Tiny BASIC” for the MITS Altair. They co-founded Microsoft. BASICA, GWBASIC and variants became a popular language for microcomputers and PCs.
- Ko Win Latt later established classes for Computer Programming & Applications.
- He co-founded SysMagic
- He is currently in Bangkok
Ko Zaw Tun

- One needs expert knowledge to interpret a Zartar.
- Ko Zaw Tun used Prolog (language for Logic Programming) to implement the Bedin Rules.
- He tested his program with several sets of data.
- He was surprised when his program said that “a Two Year Old is a rich person (possibly a Millionaire)”. He thought that there must be a bug. It turned out that the Two Year Old is a grand son of a wealthy Sawbwa, who decided that his grand son should inherit his wealth.
- He later moved to Singapore.
- He is a core organizer at Singapore Chan Myei Yeik Tha.
Update
- U Myint Sein later founded IDEA Astrology. He also served as Visiting Professor of Medical Astrology at တိုင်းရင်းဆေးပညာကျောင်း
- U Myint Sein is now GBNF. It was good news and bad news for his son, who was back in Yangon to take examination for Master Mariner. He was present at his father’s last journey.
