Canasta needs the Borland Windows Custom Controls file BWCC.DLL. If you
already have a version dated 21/10/93 or later, you can delete the copy
that is included with Canasta. Make sure that BWCC.DLL is in the SYSTEM
subdirectory of your Windows directory. If you have a version with a date
earlier than 21/10/93, replace it with the one included with Canasta.
