To use GPLSeason with GPL 1.1 do the following -
a) Install the GPL 1.1 patch
b) Start GPLSeason
c) Choose Options... from the File menu
d) Blank out the GPL Directory field and choose OK
A message saying 'Couldn't open gpl.exe' will appear - choose OK
e) Choose Options.. from the File menu again
f) Enter your GPL directory into the GPL Directory fielld and choose OK
The above procedure causes GPLSeason to re-search gpl.exe for the
information it needs to change.
This has worked successfully for me for the US version - I haven't seen the
others but I would expect the same procedure to work.
