The Autodesk Animation Player is installed as an MCI driver. Nautilus Setup will copy the necessary files to your Windows system directory and make the appropriate updates to your SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI files (see below for specifics).
Alternately, the Autodesk Animation Player may be installed using your Windows Drivers Control Panel which you can open by clicking the "Setup ..." button on the Nautilus Setup page, or at any time by opening the Control Panel from Program Manager. Once you've opened the Drivers applet, you install the driver as you do any other driver:
In the Installed Drivers list box, click Add.
Select "Unlisted or Updated Driver" from the list box and click OK.
Enter the directory path where the driver is located. In this case, you can enter:
D:\AUTODESK
where you should replace the 'D' with the appropriate letter for your CD ROM Drive (assuming this Nautilus disc is in the drive). Or, click the Browse button to select the appropriate directory.
A dialog box appears from which you can select the available drivers. Select the drivers you want to install and click OK.
System Modifications:
The Autodesk MCI driver and support DLLs are added to your Windows\System directory, including MCIAAP.DRV, AAPLAY.DLL, and AAVGA.DLL. The driver is added to the [mci] section of your SYSTEM.INI file as "Animation1" and associates Animator files in the [mci extensions] section in your WIN.INI as in the following:
<In SYSTEM.INI>
[mci]
Animation1=mciaap.drv
<In WIN.INI>
[mci extensions]
fli=Animation1
flc=Animation1
Other Notes:
A number of Autodesk animations (.FLI or .FLC files - typically pronounced as "fly" or "flick" files) are available from a wide variety of sources such as the commercial package of MediaBlitz 2.0 from Asymetrix or on CompuServe.

Nautilus
Version: 1.77b Date: 4/08/93
Setup / Installation:
Nautilus is installed using this Setup book. Nautilus requires about 1.5MB free available on your hard disk on which to install the Nautilus Startup and Link books, ToolBook runtime, MediaBlitz! runtime, and other necessary files.
System Modifications:
Sets an association for .TBK files to TBOOK.EXE in the Nautilus directory - if such an association does not already exist.

Upgrade Notes:
If you are UPGRADING Nautilus from a previous version, you may wish to install to a different directory than the one where your current setup resides. This way, you have a backup version to go to and you do not carry over unnecessary files.
Also note that it may not be necessary to install each option available from within the Nautilus Setup book. For example, you may not need to install VfW (Video for Windows) if you have already previously done so (from a previous disc, for example).
If you select the "Update Nautilus Directory" several files will be deleted that are no longer deleted. These files are related to the previous version of ScorePlayer and include:
MDIABLTZ.HLP
MB1.SBK
MB2.SBK
SCOREPLR.TBK

As a Nautilus subscriber, you will come to expect the "latest-greatest" features that inform, entertain, and educate you (and, if nothing else, they justify all that time and effort you spend on your computer...!).
As a result, in addition to the Nautilus runtime files, you will also have the option to install other software drivers or runtime players which willllll
extend the capabilities of your system. For example, on this disc, you will find the Microsoft Video for Windows runtime software, which is everything you need to be able to play digital videos from within the Nautilus Shell or Media Player. Also, you'll find ScorePlayer - which you can use to play "shows" created with Asymetrix's MediaBlitz! multimedia presentation package.
So... what do you need to do to get started exploring everything Nautilus has to offer?
1. Install the Nautilus runtime files to a directory on your hard disk.
2. If necessary, install the additional runtime software available directly from Nautilus*.
To do this, just go to the next page and click the appropriate buttons to install the files you need.iles you need.
