Thank you for registering your copy of Oracle!

About Oracle
Oracle is a Control Panel that you place into your System Folder. Oracle will present you with a random thoughtful quotation each time you start up your computer or once a day, whichever you specify. Oracle has a library of over 1,000 profound readings, which accounts for its large size.  Although it takes up a fair amount of disk space, Oracle uses very little system memory (around 5K), and works on any machine under System 6.0 or later (yes, it is System 7.0 friendly).

Oracle also allows you to print out any quotations that you find of particular interest, for later contemplation.

Many thanks to Paul O'Brien and the folks at Visionary Software for allowing me to use the text from their Synchronicity product in Oracle.

Requirements
Oracle works on any Macintosh with at least 1 Meg of memory, running System 6 or later.

Installation
To install Oracle, simply drag the Oracle icon onto your System Folder icon.  Under System 6, this will place Oracle into the System Folder proper; under System 7, Oracle will be placed in the Control Panels folder.

To activate Oracle after you have placed it onto the System Folder icon, restart your Macintosh.  You will see Oracle's icon appear along the bottom of your monitor to indicate that it loaded successfully.

Once installed, Oracle uses up 5K of memory.

Configuring
Under System 6, choose the Control Panel Desk Accessory from the Apple menu, scroll down to the Oracle icon and click on it.

Under System 7, choose the Control Panels item from the Apple Menu, scroll down to the Oracle icon and double-click on it.

Under either System, configuring Oracle is identical.

Problems?
If Oracle does not work, check to see if it displays an X-ed out icon at startup time.  Oracle will display this icon if it cannot load.  Check the system requirements under the Requirements heading above to make sure you have an acceptable configuration for Oracle to operate in.
