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

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.

INSTALLATION PROBLEMS
---------------------
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.

If problems persist, contact the Calendar Maven. DO NOT contact PsL, 
Compuserve or anyone else.

UPGRADING FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS
--------------------------------
Installing a new version to a different subdirectory is suggested!

Starting with Version 7.0, the format of HEBCAL.CFG and CITIES.DAT was 
changed. Older format files will not work properly with newer versions of 
HEBREW CALENDAR. Also the PERSONAL.DAT file has been added. Version 7.1 
HEBCAL.CFG is different from previous versions due to storage of font 
information.

Installation will overwrite previous versions of PERSONAL.DAT, HEBCAL.CFG 
and CITIES.DAT. You may want install the new version to a different 
subdirectory, or, consider savings copies of these files or writing down 
some of the information contained in them, such as geodetic coordinates.

------------------------
HEBREW CALENDAR is distributed as shareware and may be copied and 
distributed without fee other than for nominal distribution costs. The 
distribution files must not be altered in anyway. You may give copies to

to your favorite BBS, online service, or Internet FTP.

unregistered program. The unregistered program will only display yahrzeits 
for the first two years after death. If you need to check the validity of 
the listings, you may enter a date and name, save it to the Yahrzeit 
Database, then display the list. The date of the next observance of the 
yahrzeit will be listed.

Effective 21 October 1994, the city list for sunset setup has been greatly
expanded through the help of Joseph Lattke (Gateshead Ltd.). 'Yosef' is
affiliated with LUACH (Calendar), A Jewish BBS. You can login to LUACH at
