   New users should install Almanac using the provided install
   utility, ALMSETUP.EXE.  Critical directory information is
   initialized in your Windows environment and Almanac default
   auto-load module (ALMANAC.ALM) by ALMSETUP.  Please refer to
   the ALMSETUP.DOC file for more information.


   WARNING:  Support files created with versions of Almanac prior
             to version .93 are NOT compatible with version .96.
             ALMSETUP will convert existing support files for
             registered users.  If Almanac reports any bad file
             headers, verify that you are not using an old auto-
             load module, overlay, or desk data file.
