Create a folder called "Space Educators' Handbook." (Throughout the remainder of these instructions the "Space Educators' Handbook" will be referred to as the Handbook.) 2. Insert diskette one in the floppy drive port. 3. From the Mac pull down menu select "Edit" and click on the command "Select All." 4. Pull all the files from diskette one into the folder you have created. 5. Repeat the process (steps 2 through 4) for the remaining diskettes. 6. Click on each of the loaded files to expand all of them prior to using the Handbook. USE 1. Hypercard 1.2 does not permit printing of individual card fields, a useful feature of Hypercard 2.0. If field printing is required use the Handbook with Hypercard 2.0. 2. The diskettes containing the Handbook are either Hi-Density or Double-Density depending on the type of Macintosh floppy disk drive that you will be using. When ordering the Handbook, please specify the type of disk or the type Macintosh on which the program will be used. 3. The Handbook provides an "Expander" program which is a creation of "Disk Doubler." Though it can be provided to users of the Handbook, the compacting application "Disk Doubler" must be purchased from the manufacturer of the "Disk Doubler" program. For this reason, keep the original diskette files of the Handbook unexpanded and expand the files only after downloading them into a hard drive. The program requires about 10 megabytes of free space in a Macintosh's hard drive (not including Hypercard). 4. The stacks are locked to prevent violations of copyrights for copyrighted materials (art, narratives, etc.) which have been used in the stacks. However, entire stacks may be freely copied as "public domain" material. Trouble shooting Prior to invoking the following trouble shooting procedures, familiarize yourself with Hypercard by reading materials received with your computer version or procured development kit of Hypercard. If the original documents are not available, read the Hypercard "Help" stack using your computer display. Many difficulties will quickly be solved by educating yourself in regards to Hypercard. 1. If problems remain, check your version of Hypercard. It should be 1.2 or 2.0. (the Handbook runs on 2.0 though created in 1.2.). Remember both the Hypercard Application and its Home must be resident in the same folder. You can not mix Hypercard applications and their Homes. Note the Handbook also has a file called "HOME CARD" in capital letters. This is not to be mistaken for the Hypercard application Home stacks. 2. If both versions of Hypercard and their Home stacks are resident in the computer, difficulty may arise. If so, save the application and Home of either one of the applications on a spare diskette then remove the application from the computer. Note: Though created in Hypercard 1.2, the Handbook runs equally well with Hypercard 2.0, 2.1, and other later versions of Hypercard. Using Hypercard 2.1, a message may be displayed: "Where is button Text Arrows." This message is commonly displayed when using Hypercard 1.2 created stacks with Hypercard 2.0 and can be cancelled. From the File Pull Down Menu at the top of the Macintosh screen, click on open file and open any of the Handbook stacks, and the program will be operational. 3. Though Hypercard 2.0 will run the Handbook, a specially created "Search" button on the HOME CARD of the Handbook, located at the upper left works only with Hypercard 1.2. The button provides the capability to search through every stack of the Handbook for items entered in the Search message box after clicking the Search button. It, like the "Find" command, searches with the added capability of crossing stacks which "Find" does not possess. A copy of Hypercard 1.2 is required for the "Search" button. The information given in item 2 above is helpful when switching Hypercard applications to use the "Search" feature. (The "Search" button increments the search of all the stacks and their information narratives via the keyboard "Enter" key rather than the keyboard "Return" key used to increment "Find" searches of information contained in an individual stack.) 4. Ask the friend who gave you the software for help. 5. If the above does not solve the difficulty or if expanding errors or disk copy errors are encountered, please call Jerry Woodfill at (713) 283-5364.
