2. Open the folder and drag the Font-Suitcase "StarBats" out of the "StarWriter" Folder and into the System Folder of your start up disk. You'll be asked if you want to move this file in the fonts folder; click OK to allow this.
This completes the StarWriter hard disk installation. Double-click the StarWriter application icon to open it.
You may need virtual memory, open the Control Panels from the Apple-Menu and double-click the Memory icon and switch virtual memory on.
