Birth data in delimited standard text files can now be imported if the birth date and time are in a particular format. When importing comma delimited files the user is prompted to select a place if the place is not found in the database, thereby allowing importing of data when the names of places are not in the database. There is also a new option for importing birth data that is in a standard text format with the data in columns that is very flexible in that you can specify at which column each piece of data begins. These two new options for importing data make it possible to import birth data into Sirius that is in other formats than those provided in Sirius 1.0. Note that Sirius 1.0 has features for importing several formats of birth data that astrology software programs use for exporting and importing and these new features can be helpful when birth data is obtained from some source other than astrology software.
