Clock Talk will run on any Macintosh system running System 7.5 or later. In order to run Clock Talk on systems earlier than OS 8.0, you must download and install Appearance Manager 1.0.2 from the Apple DevWorld web site (http://devworld.apple.com/dev/sdk.html). The Appearance 1.0.2 SDK contains the Control Panel and Extension necessary to run Appearance Manager on systems earlier than Mac OS8. if you are already running Mac OS 8 or later, you do not need to download the new Appearance Manager. You already have what you need to run Clock Talk.
For speech capabilities, you must install the "Text to Speech" option from the OS installer (it is not installed by default).
Installing Clock Talk
To install Clock Talk, simply drag the "Clock Talk" Control Panel file onto the closed System Folder. The system will place the Control Panel file in the appropriate place for you. If you wish to take advantage of any sound files provided by Clock Talk, simply drag these files onto the System Folder as you did the Control Panel file.
NOTE: You must restart your system once the Control Panel file is installed. Clock Talk will not function until the system has been restarted.
Installing Additional Chime Files
Chime files are simply system sound files. To install them, drag the individual sound files (not the chimes folder) onto the closed System Folder. The sounds will be installed by the system.
Removing Clock Talk
Should you ever find it necessary to remove Clock Talk, simply drag the Clock Talk Control Panel file from the Control Panels folder from inside your System Folder. You will have to reboot your system to remove the code loaded into memory.
