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.
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.
Setup Fails To Complete Installation - Do not use Setup for installation.
Uncompress all files on the distribution disk using Windows EXPAND.EXE. Do
not use the DOS version of this program. From DOS, not Windows, use these
commands from the DOS prompt:
Step 1: md c:\hebcal
Step 2: c:\windows\expand -r a:*.??_ c:\hebcal
This assumes your Windows directory is c:\windows, your distribution disk is
in drive a: and your are installing to the c:\hebcal directory.
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.
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.
This version will not overwrite HEBCAL.CFG, PERSONAL.DAT, HEBCAL.TXT or
