- This CD-ROM disc compilation and certain other items are
- Copyright, 1994, 1995 Aztech New Media Corp.
-
- Thank you for purchasing Aztech's MacCube. This compilation represents
- some of the very best shareware applications that are currently available.
-
- ***************************************************************
- ***************************************************************
- To use this disc, double-click on the "Let's Go" icon
-
- The "Let's Go!" launch buttons usually opens a ReadMe file before the
- application runs. Once you close the ReadMe file You can begin using
- the application.
-
- The Let's Go! program is a HyperCard Application. When it opens a Hyper-
- Card Stack use the Window's close button or menu item File/Close Stack
- or w to quit without closing Let's Go!

- ***************************************************************
- Many of the applications on this CD-ROM run directly from the CD-ROM,
- although you may not be able to save applications or save reconfigure options
- (you can't change the contents of a CD-ROM). Some applications may need to be
- placed on your hard drive .
-
- Some applications want to write a configuration file or a high score file to disk.
- Since it is not possible to write information to a CD-ROM (Compact Disc-Read
- Only Memory) any changes you make to the a game's configuration will have
- to be done each time you play the game. To overcome this, you will have to
- copy the applications to your hard disk or to a floppy.

- A NOTE ABOUT SHAREWARE
- -----------------------------------------
- It is important to note that the bundled price of this CD-ROM covers only
- the medium, research, assembly, production, packaging, and distribution
- costs. The actual intellectual properties (that is, the shareware programs)
- require separate payment to the author(s) if you are going to use them.
- These programs are "shareware." They are not free unless specifically
- identified as such.
-
- Many of the applications offer the first episode or level for free with the hope
- that you will enjoy them enough to want to buy the additional episodes.
- This is one of the best methods of shareware. Try the first level - if
- you like it buy the rest.
-
- Other applications give you the full functionality and the author expects that
- if you like and use their product that you will forward a recommended
- payment to them. Usually there are additional incentives for "registering."
-
- For more information on Directories and Disks, please refer to your
- Macintosh User's Manual.
-
- All of the applications have been reviewed. They all work. They are
- all decompressed .You do not need to know the "executable" file. You
- do not need to know how to use various decompression programs.

- MOST COMMON SHAREWARE PROBLEMS
- -----------------------------------------------------------
-
- The shareware Aztech selected for this compilation is amongst the best in
- the world and some of these applications approach or even exceed the quality of
- some commercial applications products. Applications will freeze, hang-up, lock out,
- cause the screen to go screwy, terminate abnormally and do all the most
- horrific things that we all dislike about PC's and none of it is specific
- or even necessarily caused by the application currently running. The most
- common problems you may run into are:
-
- You did not read the HELP file (which you ARE now reading). This short
- file has some useful information about how to use the disc and how to
- exit from games that don't have an obvious exit.
-
-
- The first thing to try is to copy the whole application over to the hard
- drive. Some programs want to write a high score or a configuration file or
- set up some temporary work area, which cannot be done on a read-only device.
- We also found that copying the game to the hard disk solved the problem.
