A separate companion<BR><SPAN>vtigercrm</SPAN>-dependencies-<SPAN>x.y.z.tar.gz</SPAN> could be provided, which the user<BR>could <SPAN>untar</SPAN> somewhere on the PHP path to achieve a working <SPAN>vtigercrm</SPAN><BR>installation.<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Free web-based spreadsheet application from <SPAN>Zoho</SPAN>.
