Mac users take note, haven't tried this yet
Hi Dave........ Ah another Mac person! Thanks for buying the book.....
I'll
see if I can't help you get started here. I have a Mac too and for some
time
I was gonna abandon us to the ether but Dave managed to get this to
work for
both platforms. I only have Mac OS-9 on a 4 year old iMac so you
should be
ok....... The program opens itself on a PC, but here's what should work
for you
on your Mac:
1. Insert Rattle & Slime disk into your computer
2. Create a new folder on your desktop by accessing "NEW FOLDER" from
the
File Menu. Title the folder Darrington Guide or Rattle & Slime or
whatever you
choose.
3. Copy all documents and files from the original disk into the file on
your
desktop. (Hold down the shift button and click and drag all files into
your
new folder....... it will probably take 3-5 minutes to copy everything
to your
hardrive.)
4. Go into the newly created folder, locate the file titled: GUIDE.HQX
and
double click it....Stuffit should immediately launch and open the file.
As it
does this it creates a new icon in your Rattle & Slime Folder, You
should then
see a round icon with a sort of an "f" on it and "guide.1" appearing
underneath. This is the book..... clicking on that should get you
where you wanna be.
At this point I create an alias (with the guide.1 icon highlighted,
single
click....... go into your File Menu and select "Make Alias" it will
duplicate
the icon right underneath the previous one but you will notice that the
title
is Italic instead of Roman...... highlight that and call it Rattle and
Slime
and drag it out to live on our desktop... its not the actual program
but it goes
and opens it for you. Leave the actual program in your program folder
and
store it anywhere you want on your computer..... I suggest in the
applications
folder on your hardrive. The actual disk you bought can be removed and
stored
with your other disks at this time.
That should get you going Dave......... lemme know if you have any
further
questions and I will refer you to Dave Burdick....... the software
wizard who
engineered the whole thing.
Thanks again and pray for a short winter!
David
