Additional Desktop Pictures
This folder contains additional pictures which can be used with the Desktop Pictures control panel. If you find a picture you want to use, copy it to your hard disk so it will still be available after you eject the CD.
Additional Modem Scripts
This folder has modem scripts for use with a variety of modems. If your modem isn't listed when you configure your telecommunications or Internet software, double-click on the Installer application to install additional modem scripts for use with the Modem control panel. See Chapter 4 in the Mac OS 8 installation manual for more information.
Apple Telecom
This folder includes Apple Telecom software. Apple Telecom is used to send and receive faxes, place phone calls, and keep track of phone numbers. A modem and a PowerPC computer are required to use Apple Telecom software.
AppleCD Player
This folder contains the AppleCD Player, a program used to play audio CDs and enhanced CDs on the computer.
At Ease Updaters
This folder contains programs to update previous versions of At Ease to a newer version. You must have the At Ease application program to use these files.
HyperCard Updates
You can use the HyperCard Player to open HyperCard stacks. HyperCard stacks are arrangements of text, pictures, and other elements on sequential screens, or cards. Some HyperCard stacks hold information and other stacks work like applications, requesting information from users and making calculations with that information.
The stacks in the HyperCard Stack for Mac OS 8 folder are replacements for stacks included with the full version of HyperCard. If you have HyperCard, replace the stacks in your HyperCard folder with the ones on the Mac OS 8.1 CD.
Iomega Disk Tools
This folder contains software for use with Iomega Zip and Jaz drives. To use this software, please refer to the Iomega Software Manual located in the Manuals and Help folder.
MoviePlayer Extras
The MoviePlayer application installed in your Apple Extras folder plays QuickTime movies. The MoviePlayer Extras folder includes audio and video sample movies, as well as two “plug-in files”—Authoring Extras and Goodies, which add some extra features to the MoviePlayer application.
QuickDraw 3D Extras
This folder includes sample 3D textures and models. It includes a pre-release version of Cumulus 2.5, an image database system. You can use Cumulus to view all the images and textures included with the QuickDraw 3D Extras. The Gerbils! game can be used to experiment with 3D images by maneuvering images of gerbils on a roller coaster.
QuickTime Sample
This folder contains a sample QuickTime movie. View this movie by using MoviePlayer, SimpleText, or any application that supports QuickTime.
Spanish Text-to-Speech 1.5
With the Mexican Spanish text-to-speech software installed, your computer can read Mexican Spanish out loud. Mac OS 8.1 also comes with English text-to-speech. If you want to use Mexican Spanish instead, install the software in this folder.
Universal Access
This folder contains two extensions which can assist some Macintosh users. CloseView significantly enlarges the images and text on the screen. Easy Access allows control of the pointer on the screen by using the keyboard, rather than the mouse. Drag and drop these extensions onto the closed System Folder and restart the computer to activate these features.
Other Extras
• Eric’s Solitaire Sampler: a solitaire game by Delta Tao Software
• Pointer Mode control panel: to ensure the pointer appears in screen captures
