OceanLife
Volume 1 Western Pacific
This file contains important information not covered anywhere else.
Reading it carefully will increase your enjoyment of your new CD ROM.
If you have any questions or problems, please call Sumeria's technical
support department at 415/904-0800.
Running the installer (SETUP.EXE)
OceanLife does not have to be installed on your hard drive--it
can be run straight off the CD from the File Manager. However, the
installer will give you the option of installing QuickTime for
Windows version 1.0 and/or a convenient, double-clickable icon in the
Program Manager.
To run the installer, simply double-click on the file SETUP.EXE
in the File Manager. Alternatively, you can highlight the file and choose
Run from the File menu.
About QuickTime for Windows
Choosing to install Apple's QuickTime for Windows will copy all
the necessary files to your hard drive. You will then be able to view
QuickTime movies and compressed PICT images on your Windows PC. This
technology is seamlessly incorporated into Ocean Life, but you may want
to copy QuickTime so you can view other movies and graphics. These are
available from many sources including bulletin boards, clip media volumes,
and user groups.
QuickTime for Windows is provided for your own use. If you would
like to distribute it in any product or service, you must obtain a seperate
software license from Apple Computer; you may contact Apple's software
licensing division at 408/974-4667.
About the OceanLife projector (OLIFE.EXE)
This is the application program that contains the text, graphics,
and QuickTime for Windows movies that make up OceanLife Volume 1. If you
choose to copy it to another location (such as your hard drive), you must
include all the files in OLIFE.EXE's directory or it may not play
properly. Copying it to a hard drive is only recommended in cases where
CD ROM access is slow and causing significant performance delays.
About the Ocean Life movie file (QTMOVIES.DIR)
This directory contains the QuickTime for Windows movies that
OceanLife needs to play. It must be available to the OceanLife
projector (OLIFE.EXE).
About the JPEG movie file (OLJPEG.DIR)
The movies in OLJPEG.DIR are provided for users who may want to include
an OceanLife movie in another presentation. The video is of higher quality than those
used by the OceanLife application (OLIFE.EXE). To view the JPEG movies, it is best
to copy them to a hard drive with a fast access time, then open individual movies
with the Movie Viewer application. Running the OceanLife installer and selecting
Install QuickTime for Windows will provide the Movie Viewer application and all
necessary files (DLLs).
