ADDENDUM TO THE USER'S GUIDE.

1. The time of Molad (New Moon) annonced in the synagoges is for
   Jerusalem. The program gives you local time that is useful for
   computation of Kidush Levana deadline. Jerusalem time may be also
   easily computed by switching current city to Jerusalem.

TROUBLE SHOOTING.

There are some differences in customs (derived from the different Halachic
opinions) how to compute the dates of Bar-Mitzvah and Yahrzeit.  See User's
Guide for details.

It is possible that Halachic times computed by the program are slightly
different from those in the calendar you currently use.  This may be caused
by:
     a. Differences in the real times of astronomical events like sunrise,
        sunset, etc., within one big city. -- Please, check and correct, if
        necessary, geographical information for your city, adjusting it to
        the exact area, where you live.

     b. Differences of Halachic approaches. -- You can set the parameters in
        the SET UP  menu to match your opinion.  See Appendix A of the
        User's Guide for discussion of various rabbinic opinions.
