Alan Davis, Wellington, KS: "The Parity program is the worst experience
I've ever had with any software. I followed the instructions verbatim,
and the program won't run - it locks up the system. If you are able to
make Parity run, I'd sure like to hear how."

PsL: The README.TXT file says: If Parity appears to lock up during an
operation and the mouse icon is locked into an Hour Glass cursor, just
hit the Up Arrow key." This worked for us.
