########## Troubleshooting ##########

If you have installed Digital Almanac correctly and your computer crashes without
any visible reason, please check the following statements:

* I run a MC68040 and I have installed the original 68040.library from Commodore.
* I run a MC68060 and I have installed the latest 68060.library.
* I have installed the original math-libs from Commodore, i.e
  I do not use any replacement libs or patches concerning these math-libs.

If you negate any of these statements, you may find Digital Almanac not
to work on your Amiga !!
Please read the chapter "Troubleshooting" in the docs !
