- Running the installer (SETUP.EXE)
- OceanLife does not have to be installed on your hard drive--it
- can be run straight off the CD from the File Manager. However, the
- installer will give you the option of installing QuickTime for
- Windows version 1.0 and/or a convenient, double-clickable icon in the
- Program Manager.
- To run the installer, simply double-click on the file SETUP.EXE
- in the File Manager. Alternatively, you can highlight the file and choose
- Run from the File menu.

- About QuickTime for Windows
- Choosing to install Apple's QuickTime for Windows will copy all
- the necessary files to your hard drive. You will then be able to view
- QuickTime movies and compressed PICT images on your Windows PC. This
- technology is seamlessly incorporated into Ocean Life, but you may want
- to copy QuickTime so you can view other movies and graphics. These are
- available from many sources including bulletin boards, clip media volumes,
- and user groups.
- QuickTime for Windows is provided for your own use. If you would
- like to distribute it in any product or service, you must obtain a seperate
- software license from Apple Computer; you may contact Apple's software
- licensing division at 408/974-4667.

- About the OceanLife projector (OLIFE.EXE)
- This is the application program that contains the text, graphics,
- and QuickTime for Windows movies that make up OceanLife Volume 1. If you
- choose to copy it to another location (such as your hard drive), you must
- include all the files in OLIFE.EXE's directory or it may not play
- properly. Copying it to a hard drive is only recommended in cases where
- CD ROM access is slow and causing significant performance delays.
-
- About the Ocean Life movie file (QTMOVIES.DIR)
- This directory contains the QuickTime for Windows movies that
- OceanLife needs to play. It must be available to the OceanLife
- projector (OLIFE.EXE).
-
- About the JPEG movie file (OLJPEG.DIR)
- The movies in OLJPEG.DIR are provided for users who may want to include
- an OceanLife movie in another presentation. The video is of higher quality than those
- used by the OceanLife application (OLIFE.EXE). To view the JPEG movies, it is best
- to copy them to a hard drive with a fast access time, then open individual movies
- with the Movie Viewer application. Running the OceanLife installer and selecting
- Install QuickTime for Windows will provide the Movie Viewer application and all
- necessary files (DLLs).
