***DO NOT CREATE SEPARATE FOLDERS FOR EACH DISKETTE***
Loading Procedure:
1. 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
