========================================
MAC OS INSTALLATION

STEP 1.  Complete Guide to Dogs requires QuickTime 
and Sound Manager.  If you have current versions 
of these system extensions installed, you can skip 
this step.  Otherwise, open the folder called "Put 
in System Folder" on the Dogs disk.  Drag all the 
files inside to your System Folder, where they 
will be installed as system extensions.  If your 
Macintosh asks you if you want to replace older 
versions of these files, say "OK," but don't replace 
newer versions if they exist.

When you've completed this step, you'll need to 
restart your Macintosh.

STEP 2.  Drag the DOGGUIDE icon from the Dogs disk 
to your hard drive.  

IMPORTANT NOTE:  If you have more than a few dozen 
fonts on your system, the product may freeze when you
launch it.  To prevent this, remove most of your fonts 
from your System folder (but leave Monaco, Chicago, 
Geneva and New York in your System Folder). Re-start 
your computer. 

STEP 3.  To run Complete Guide to Dogs, 
make sure the Dogs CD-ROM is inserted, and 
double-click on the DOGGUIDE icon on your hard drive.

NOTE:  If you have an older CD-ROM drive or system, 
you may notice uneven performance when playing the 
movies and slideshows in Complete Guide to Dogs.  
You can improve performance by using the Memory 
Control Panel to turn off virtual memory, and set 
the disk cache to the smallest possible size.  After 
you turn off virtual memory, you will need to restart 
your Macintosh.

UNINSTALLING COMPLETE GUIDE TO DOGS

STEP 1.  Drag the DOGGUIDE icon from 
your hard disk to the trash.  

STEP 2.  Empty the Trash.

Complete Guide to Dogs is now uninstalled.

NOTE: We recommend that you do not remove 
QuickTime or Sound Manager as these extensions 
are used by many other Macintosh programs.

STEP 1:  Open the CD-ROM in the File Manager.
Run the program "WINSTALL.EXE" by double-

open the Program Manager.  Then open the Control
Panel icon in the Main program group.  Double-
click the "386 Enhanced" icon, then click the
"Virtual Memory..." button.  Click the "Change>>"
button to display more of the "Virtual Memory"
window.  In the "New Settings" group, for the "Type"
entry, select "None".  Click OK.  Click "Yes" when you
are asked "Are you sure you want to make changes
to virtual memory settings?"

STEP 3.  Whether or not you have made any changes 
to Virtual Memory, you must RE-START WINDOWS.

to your Program Manager and open the DogGuide
program group.  Double click on the DogGuide
