INSTALLATION
------------
a) From Supplied Disk: Run SETUP on the installation floppy disk from 
Windows.

b) From ZIP File: UnZIP to a subdirectory such as HEBCAL. Install 
HEBCALW.EXE in a Windows program group. You must have VBRUN300.DLL in your 
Windows System subdirectory to run HEBREW CALENDAR. If you don't have this 
run-time library, it is probably available from the same source where you 
acquired HEBREW CALENDAR.

If you have registered, enter your name and ID number EXACTLY as received
on the Information & Registration selection on the Main Menu. SAVE A COPY OF
YOUR ID NUMBER!!!!! If you lose it, contact the CALENDAR MAVEN (tm).

INSTALLATION PROBLEMS
---------------------
Invalid File Format - This is caused by not completely replacing only 
library files (VBX extensions) with the newest versions. Use File Manager, or
Explorer, to delete all files in the Hebrew Calendar directory. Look in 
Windows and Windows System directories; delete the following files, if found:
  mlist.vbx
  vbctl3d.vbx
  ctcheck.vbx
  vsview.vbx
  cttips.vbx
  spin.vbx
Restart Windows. Reinstall hebcal. If necessary, copy VBX files from the
Hebrew Calendar directory to the Windows System directory.

ID Number Not Recognized as Valid - Your registered name and number must be
entered exactly as received. This includes spaces, punctuation, and any 
ampersands.

DDEML.DLL Cannot Be Installed - Ignore and continue with installation.

Setup Cannot Install Some Files - May be related to VER.DLL in your Windows
System subdirectory. Rename it VER.DL_ and run Setup again.

Colors Are Wrong - May be related to THREED.VBX. If this file is in your
Hebrew Calendar subdirectory, try copying it to your Windows System
subdirectory.

COMMDLG.DLL Warning - This file is being used by another and probably
non-obvious program. Enter IGNORE.

THREED.VBX Needs Newer Version - Multiple versions of this library exist on
your system. Track them down and replace with a single copy located in your
Windows System subdirectory. HEBREW CALENDAR is compiled with Version 3.00,
dated 7/16/93, 64432 bytes.

If problems persist, contact the CALENDAR MAVEN. DO NOT contact PsL, 
Compuserve or anyone else.

UPGRADING/UPDATING FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS
-----------------------------------------
This version may be installed directly over previous versions since 7.0. If
you are currently using an older version, delete all previous files or
install to a new directory.

changed. Older format files will not work properly with newer versions of 
HEBREW CALENDAR.
