When I tried to just install PAF 5 directly, Install Shield would crash.
I tried it several times, trying various things, but nothing worked.  I
decided to try PAF 4 just to see if it would work, and it did.  Then I
tried to install PAF 5, and it got farther than it did originally but
still had problems.  Removing the Install Shield files was what finally
got it to work.

The other thing I did, which I forgot to mention earlier, was something
that I had seen someone else mention out there somewhere.  If you get
OLE errors (or maybe try this even if you don't), you need to install
the stdole32.tlb file from Microsoft's DCOM95 package into
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.  I downloaded this file from off of the Internet
someplace.

I still have all of my files.  If anyone is still having problems, I'd
be happy to give away a tar file of my .wine directory, which includes
PAF and Wine configuration stuff (that's where my fake_windows directory
is).  Bzipped, the file is 23 MB.

Like I said, keep on letting me know how everything goes.
