MORE INFORMATION
================

Corel is aware of an incompatibility issue with the E2 version of Ventura 5 and
newer versions of the OLE files. Corel has subsequently released two newer
versions of Ventura 5, F1 and F2. The F1 and F2 versions do not exhibit the
incompatibility if newer OLE2 files are on the system.

For more information, contact Corel Technical Support.
