     You will be able to use both versions but not at the
     same time.
   - You can remove the older version at any time using
     "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel, choosing
     "WinZones" and clicking on Add/Remove.

If you are using WinZones for Windows 3.1:
   - The new version will install into a different directory.
     You will be able to use both versions at the same time.
   - You can remove the older version at any time by erasing
     the files in its directory, removing its directory and
     removing its Program Group.

If you have any WinZones clocks running, you should exit them
them before installing this new version.

 2. You can compare the time in different cities using a

    in another location.
