SUMMARY
=======

Encarta runs well on Windows NT with the following exceptions which are
noted in the README.WRI file in the root directory of the Microsoft Encarta
1994 edition:

MORE INFORMATION
================

The Windows NT version of the CinePak video decompressor from SuperMac was
not officially released and tested when Encarta 1994 was completed.
Therefore, only the standard Windows decompressor is included, so videos do
not play on Windows NT.

If you have a non-Intel Windows NT machine (that is, a MIPS or Alpha
processor) then you will need to manually install two DLLs that do not have
the 80386 code found in the DLLs installed by default.

These files are in the ENCARTA\NT directory on the CD and are called
ENC94IMG.DLL and POEMWINC.DLL. To install these files, do the following:

 - Do a complete setup of Encarta. Choose the "Faster" installation option
   so that the files to be replaced run from the hard disk drive.

 - Copy the two files from the ENCARTA\NT directory on the CD into the same
   directory you designated in Setup (C:\ENCARTA by default). These files
   replace the ones Setup copied there.

NOTE: On non-Intel architectures, the Encarta Dictionary/Thesaurus should
not be run since it will cause your system to stop responding (hang).
