64 Chapter 4
To find out if an application needs to be installed, look inside its folder for
an icon labeled Installer. If you find an Installer icon and want to use that
application, double-click the Installer and follow the instructions on the
screen. Most application folders also contain Read Me files that provide
additional information about the application. To read the contents of a Read
Me file, double-click its icon.
Your computer’s system software includes additional applications that provide
special features or enhanced capabilities for your computer. Included among
the system software applications are the following:
m PC Exchange, which lets you work with DOS and Windows disks as if they
were Macintosh disks
m QuickDraw 3D, which gives your computer the ability to display graphics
in three dimensions
m PlainTalk, which allows your computer to understand spoken commands in
English and Mexican Spanish
Installing application programs
You may want to buy and install additional application programs. See the
manuals you receive with these applications for instructions on installing and
using them.
To use your applications most effectively, follow these guidelines:
m Read the manuals you received with the application if you have a problem.
m Put only one copy of each application on your hard disk. Having more than
one copy can cause errors.
m Whenever you copy an application from its disk to your hard disk, be
careful not to copy a System Folder.
m If an application malfunctions consistently, try installing a fresh copy. If
that doesn’t help, find out from the software manufacturer whether your
version of the application is compatible with your computer model and
your system software.
