********************************************************** Instructions for using your Comstock Klips CD-ROM. ********************************************************** This informational file contains three sections: 1. Software Requirements 2. Instructions for launching this Klips CD 3. How to access Image Data Files ********************************************************** *** 1. Software Requirements *** ********************************************************** This CD-Rom is designed to be viewed using an internet web browser capable of handling "frames". The programs have been carefully tested to run in these popular browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x Netscape Communicator Navigator 4.x (except 4.03, which has documented defects) Navigator 3.04 or higher Browsers from other vendors that can handle "frames" should work satis- factorily. If you do not have a browser installed on your computer, contact us in New York City at (800) 225-2727 and we will send you a free copy of Internet Explorer. If you have an older version of one of the above browsers, you can download an upgrade by pointing your browser to either: http://www.microsoft.com/ie/download/ - or - http://www.netscape.com/download/index.html ========================================================== *** A special note to Mac Users using Netscape *** ========================================================== Mac Users: Due to particularities in the way Netscape handles HTML files coming off a CD-ROM, this disc will run many times faster in Microsoft Internet Explorer than in Netscape. You can download a free copy of Internet Explorer at http://www.microsoft.com/ie/download/ Question: Does that mean it won't work in Netscape? Answer: It works fine in Netscape-- just slower in loading -- especially the thumbnail pages. Question: If I download Internet Explorer, does that mean I can't use Netscape? Answer: You can have both browsers resident on your machine-- and many people do. Set your "default" browser to whichever one you generally prefer, and then, when you want to use the other one (such as with this disc) simply launch it and then select the disc. ********************************************************** *** 2.
