   A number of changes have been made in version 1.4.  As a result, installation
   is a little more complex:

   1) replace the existing VROBJ.DLL with the one in the archive.  Version 1.4
      requires the DLL for VX-Rexx 2.0a.
   2) account file format has changed.  To convert your account *.ini files
      (excluding ET_FIX and ET_FIXED), either drag them on to the
      FIXACCT.CMD file or pass the account *.ini filenames as command
      line parameters from an OS/2 window (one filename per invocation).
   3) As a direct result of #2, the ET_FIX and ET_FIXED files must be
      converted, too.  To convert these two files, simply start the
      FIX_FIX.CMD file (no parameter required).
   4) Once you've converted both the account *.ini files, ET_FIX.INI and
      ET_FIXED.INI, and once you're satisfied that the conversion went
      well, you can delete the FIXACCT.CMD and FIX_FIX.CMD files.  The
      best way to check the accuracy of the conversion on the account
      *.ini files is to load them into E-Teller.  If you don't get an error
      message, then they were properly converted.  For ET_FIX and
      ET_FIXED, you need only check the filenames in both INIs.
      Previously, the format was:

         [day of month]
            drive:\path\filename.ini = transaction(s)

      Now, that should read:

         [day of month]
            drive:\path\filename.clr = transaction(s)

      In other words, only the extension of the filename should have been
      changed.  All else remains the same.
   5) Because of an error in E-Teller 1.3, a useless entry was created in
      your OS2.INI file.  To clean it up, first make a backup copy of the
      OS2.INI file (just in case) and run DEL_ERR.CMD.  This Rexx script
      will not blindly change your OS2.INI file.  It will prompt you before
      making *any* modification to the file.  For your own peace of mind,
      DEL_ERR.CMD proceeds as follows:

      1) Check for 'Main' entry in OS2.INI
      2) If found, get the keys contained in 'Main' and list them.
      3) List the keys that should be contained in 'Main' according
         to the error in E-Teller 1.3.
      4) Ask user if 'Main' should be deleted.  If no,
      5) Ask the user if individual keys should be deleted.  If yes,
      6) Prompt user for each key.  If told not to delete, show next.
   6) Because the layout of E-Teller's main window has changed, and 
      because the way in which window/object size, position, etc. is stored
      and read has changed, you will have to delete your current e-teller.ini
      file.  If you don't, then the Accounts and Ledger containers will be
      improperly positioned.  I considered including another small program to
      do this for you, but since the information contained in E-Teller.ini is not
      vital to its operation, I didn't see the point.

   To run E-Teller, you need, in addition to the files contained in this archive:

   1) Rexx support installed (mandatory)
   2) PMDCALC.EXE or other calculator program (optional).

   Install E-Teller by doing the following:

   1) Put VROBJ.DLL in a directory specified by the libpath statement in
      your config.sys file.  E-Teller 1.4 requires version 2.0a of Watcom's
      VROBJ.DLL, so if you already have a copy of VROBJ.DLL on your
      system, ensure that it does not predate the one contained in this
      archive.  If it does, replace it.
   2) Create a unique directory for E-Teller and copy the files (excluding
      VROBJ.DLL) in that directory.
   3) Since you've never used E-Teller, you can delete the following files
      from the directory:

      o  FIXACCT.CMD
      o  FIX_FIX.CMD
      o  DEL_ERR.CMD
