Using your Claris Software Express Updater - ClarisWorks™ 2.1v2
New Features
ClarisWorks 2.1 has many enhancements and new features, including support for, PowerTalk™ (electronic mail provided with System 7 Pro), automatic hyphenation, Excel 4.0 import and export, and ClarisWorks 1.0 Word Processing export.
Overview
The accompanying installer software will install all of the files that are either new or changed since ClarisWorks 2.0 as well as the software needed to update your current copy of the ClarisWorks 2.0 application to the latest version, 2.1v2. The updater contains a listing of changes that have been made. When you run it, your original ClarisWorks 2.0 is combined with the list of changes and is replaced with version 2.1v2.
This document describes the steps you must take to apply the update. You may want to print it so that you can refer to it later.
System Requirements
The updater software uses 900K of memory. You will need 2 MB for System 6 and 3 MB for System 7.
Hard Disk Space
You will need up to 1.6 MB of free disk space to install and use the updater.
Virus Detection Software
The Updater makes several changes to the resources in ClarisWorks. Many anti-virus utilities consider this activity improper and may try to prevent it. To avoid this inconvenience, disable all virus detection software and restart your Macintosh before applying the update.
How the Update Works
Updating from ClarisWorks version 2.0 to 2.1v2 is a two step process. In Part I, you install "ClarisWorks 2.1v2 Updater" and other necessary files. In Part II, you update the application file.
Part I — Installing the Updater
1. Double-click the Installer icon.
2. Click Continue.
3. Read the license agreement using the scroll arrows.
4. If you agree with the terms, click Agree to proceed with the installation.
5. Once the installation has succeeded, click OK and continue on to Part II.
The installer will have created a folder named "ClarisWorks 2.1v2 Update" on your startup disk and placed the "ClarisWorks 2.1v2 Updater" within it.
How the Updater Works
The ClarisWorks 2.1v2 Updater will modify your current copy of ClarisWorks. This update will only work with ClarisWorks 2.0. You can't update the same copy twice.
Part II — Updating the Application
1. Quit ClarisWorks, if you are using it.
2. Double-click the ClarisWorks 2.1v2 Update folder icon to open it.
3. Double-click the ClarisWorks 2.1v2 Updater to open it.
4. The Updater will search for ClarisWorks. If the Updater fails to find it, locate and select the copy of ClarisWorks 2.0 to be updated.
5. Click Update.
6. The update should take less than five minutes. You will see a message confirming successful installation of the new version, or an indication of what went wrong.
Congratulations, you have successfully updated to 2.1v2!
