Download the Luach version 1.55 zip file.
This file is named "luach155.zip".
2 Save the file to your hard drive
and remember the file name and location. If prompted to overwrite
files, say "Yes". A zip file is a compressed file which contains
several files within it.
3 You'll need WinZip
(or a similar program) to extract the files out of the "zip"
file. (If you are using a MacIntosh computer, use StuffIt).

of the extracted files.

on your organizer, do NOT delete Luach, just re-install over it.

the Luach.prc file to the Handheld section of the Palm Quick
Install window (do not install on the Expansion Card section).

files. These applications allow you to run Luach and go directly
into the Jewish Calendar Dialog (without seeing the main menu).
• LuachS opens the secular calendar view
• LuachJ opens the Jewish calendar view
If you have a document reader (TealDoc), install the cities.prc
file. This file contains the longitude and latitude definitions
