GEnie’s Multimedia LiveWire for Macintosh -- December • 1994
<<< YOU MUST HAVE >>>
Requires a minimum of 68020 processor; System 6.0.7 or higher; 4-bit color
monitor with at least 640x400 resolution (works on PowerBooks); HyperCard 2.0 or
the HyperCard Player 2.1 or greater; 3mb RAM allocated to HyperCard (you can use
2 to 2.5mb RAM but the MODs will not play.) A HyperCard player is also available
FREE in the LiveWire Library if you don't have a compatible version of HyperCard.
<<< CHANGES >>>
The CyberNotes (aka sidebars) are accessed by clicking on the buttons on the
appropriate pages. CyberNotes are now displayed in floating windoids which are
fully scrollable and resizable. You close the CyberNotes now just like any normal
Mac window or keep them all open if you want. <g>
LiveWire HyperCard now incorporates the MOD files directly into the resource fork
with PlayMOD 2.0.2. Those files will no longer appear loose in the folder.

All the regular HyperCard commands are available. The menubar is hidden but can
be revealed by typing command + spacebar. In the HyperCard spirit of sharing, the
stack is unprotected and its scripts may be examined.
Five tunes may be played by clicking on the Music Choir on the Contents page. A
dialog box will allow you to choose which tune to play. You can also silence any
tune through this dialog box. These MODs may be played while you read without
slowing down the system.
You can EXIT (Quit) LiveWire by typing command+Q or by clicking on the button
that reads "Exit".
To make scrolling through the stories faster, click on the inside of the
scrollbar. Clicking near the down arrow will scroll the story one full page in

is only half showing at the bottom, it will be repeated with the next "page down"
command.
The left and right arrows to the sides of the ARTICLE icon will take you to the
previous and next articles respectively.
Clicking on the Article icon will return the current article to the beginning.
