Apple Macintosh Performa 6100 Series - Manual (Page 47)

Installing application programs
You’ll probably want to buy and install additional application programs. See
the manuals you received with your programs for instructions on installing
and using them.
In most cases, you’ll install an application program on your internal hard disk
from floppy disks that contain the program. The following illustration shows
how to insert a floppy disk in your computer’s floppy disk drive.
For instructions on how to eject floppy disks, see the “Disks” topic of
Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
To use your programs most effectively, follow these guidelines:
m Put only one copy of each program on your hard disk. Having more than
one copy can cause errors.
m Whenever you copy a program disk to your hard disk, be careful not to
copy a System Folder. Always check to see what you’ve copied, and drag
any extra System Folders to the Trash.
m If you have problems using a program, read the manuals you received with
the program.
m If a program malfunctions consistently, try installing a fresh copy. If that
doesn’t help, find out from the software manufacturer whether your version
of the program is compatible with the system software you’re using.
For instructions on how to put a program into the Launcher, see the
“Launcher” index topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
Insert the floppy disk, metal
end first, into the floppy disk
drive of your computer.
