<p>
    Right-click on <a href="/public/CurrencyRates.prp"><strong>this link</strong></a> 
    and select &quot;Save As&quot; or &quot;Save Target As&quot; from the menu. Then save the 
    
    file to your Calc directory. Usually this will be something like <strong>
    C:\\Program Files\\Calc98*</strong>. Now follow the steps below 
    
    depending on which version of Calc you are using:</p>
<h4>
    Calc Version 5.3 for Windows:</h4>
<p>
    Run Calc and select the Units dialog by clicking on the Units button, 
    
    and click on the Edit button next to the properties drop-down box. If it 
    
    is there, select &quot;currency&quot; from the properties list and click on the 
    
    &quot;Delete&quot; button to remove the old currency data. Close the properties 
    
    edit window and the properties window (if prompted to save the 
    
    properties click &quot;Cancel&quot;, as there is no need to save at this point). 
    
    Now click on the Opt button and select the Data tab. Click on the Load 
    
    Properties button and choose the file you just downloaded and click on 
    
    the Load button. When the file has loaded click on the Save Properties 
    
    button and type &quot;default&quot; as the file name and make sure it is saved to 
    
    your Calc directory. This will ensure that the properties, which now 
    
    include the updated currency data, will always be loaded when you start 
    
    Calc. You can now close the Options dialog box. You should now have 
    
    updated currency data!</p>
<h4>
    Calc Version 5.6 for Windows:</h4>
<p>
    Run Calc and select the Units dialog and click on the Edit button next 
    
    to the properties drop-down box. Select &quot;currency&quot; from the properties 
    
    list and click on the &quot;Delete&quot; button to remove the old currency data. 
    
    Close the properties edit window and the properties window (if prompted 
    
    to save the properties click &quot;Cancel&quot;, as there is no need to save at 
    
    this point). Now select Load Properties from the File menu and select 
    
    the file you just downloaded. Finally, use the Save Properties option 
    
    from the File menu and and type &quot;default&quot; as the file name and make sure 
    
    it is saved to your Calc directory. This will ensure that the 
    
    properties, which now include the updated currency data, will always be 
    
    loaded when you start Calc. You should now have updated currency data!</p>
<h4>
    Calc Version 5.3 for Pocket PC</h4>
<p>
    You will need to copy the file you downloaded to the device. The easiest 
    
    way to do this is to open ActiveSync and click on the Explore button. 
    
    Then navigate to your &quot;My Documents&quot; directory. You can now transfer the 
    
    file you just downloaded by dragging and dropping. Next, run Calc and 
    
    select the Units dialog and click on the Edit button next to the 
    
    properties drop-down box. If it is there, select &quot;currency&quot; from the 
    
    properties list and click on the &quot;Delete&quot; button to remove the old 
    
    currency data. Close the properties edit window and the properties 
    
    window (if prompted to save the properties click &quot;No&quot;, as there is no 
    
    need to save at this point). Now select Load Properties from the File 
    
    menu and select the file you just downloaded. Finally, use the Save 
    
    Properties option from the File menu and type &quot;default&quot; as the file name
