Installing software from your cover CD...
Year 2000 and the software on your Internet Magazine cover CD With the much talked about rollover to the year 2000 upon us, Internet Magazine is seeking to ensure that the software on the cover CDs is, to the best of our knowledge and where applicable, 'Year 2000 Compliant'. Year 2000 compliancy means that there should be no disturbance to the running of compliant software from 1999 into the year 2000. Internet Magazine depends upon statements issued by relevant software companies and can in no way guarantee that any particular product is 100% Year 2000 Compliant. All software on this CD is provided 'as is' for the use of Internet Magazine readers at their own risk – EMAP Active, Internet Magazine and its employees cannot be held liable for problems arising for whatever reason from the installation and operation of any software products on this CD. Any critical data on your computer system should be backed up and safeguarded before installing or running new software. Please note that a particular software product's Year 2000 compliancy is still dependent upon the compliancy of your computer hardware, your operating system software, and possibly other software running on your system. It is also worth noting that many software products are in no way date and time critical or dependent and thus should have no reason to exhibit problems due to the change of millennium. Use of this CD-ROM indicates your acceptance of these terms and conditions.
Installing software from your Internet Magazine cover CD (Problems seeing files on the CD? Click here...) Netscape users:If using Netscape, when clicking on a link to a program from these pages, you are only offered the option to save it to your hard disk. This is not really what you want — so to install the software from this CD you will either have to locate the application on the CD and install from there, or copy the relevant program's folder and files from the CD to your hard disk and set it up from there (after installation, you can delete the files you copied from CD in order to free up hard disk space).Mac users, see below for additional information.
Microsoft Internet Explorer users:Clicking on the blue link names on the CD pages will pop up a message asking whether you want to open the file or save it — choose the 'Open' option, which will run the installation program for that piece of software.If you do have difficulties, try copying the folder and files of the program you want from the CD to your hard disk and running the installation/setup program from there. You can then delete the installation program from your hard disk to regain space once the software is set up.
Macintosh users:Most of the Macintosh software on this CD is in archived HQX files — you need software such as Unstuffit to unpack these files on your hard disk before installing. A shareware version of Unstuffit is on the CD if you need it — copy it from the SOFTWARE/MAC/UTILITIES/STUFFIT/ folder on the CD to your hard disk/desktop and double click it to install.
Because many files on this CD have passed through a PC system, your Mac might think that the HQX files are Simple Text files(!) — the solution is to start Unstuffit first and load the HQX files via the File>Open menu.
Windows 3.x users:This may also apply to some Windows 95 users... Some readers have reported problems seeing or accessing files on the cover CD. So far we know of several reasons (apart from production faults) why this might occur:
