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.

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
