SUMMARY

Toward the end of Setup, when you click the Online Registration
button, you may receive the following error message:

   The Signup.exe file is linked to missing export
   Mcm.dll:ConnectProtocolToIndex.

   The Registration Wizard was unable to locate the SignUp

   DMF Floppy      Win95_08.cab of Disk 8
   CD-ROM          Win95_07.cab.
