In this download you will find the very latest version of "Making the Grade," with which you may update your original MTG Program Disks and installed-to Hard Drives.
BEWARE! ALERT! ATTENTION! PLEASE NOTE! HEY!
This particular edition of the program will update ONLY non-tailored Versions 7.1m and later on High Density floppies. If you have Version 7.1j or earlier (or a personalized TEACHER-TAILORED disk), you must return your Program Disk to us for just one more rebuild. (Don't forget the obligatory $5.00 for postage and handling for our student update staff!)
OK, if you presently have 7.1m or later, all you must do to update your floppy is . . .
1. Locate the original MTG Program Disk from which you installed Making the Grade™
(7.1m or later), and insert it into your floppy drive. Double-click the diskette icon
to open its window.
2. Next, drag all the files you see on the Program Disk into the trash and empty it.
NOTE: DO NOT ERASE THE FLOPPY COMPLETELY! It has some invisible files on it
you will NOT want to lose.
3. Now drag the two Version 8.2 icons you downloaded from the Internet (INSTALL
Making the Grade™ 8.2 and DEINSTALL Making the Grade™ 8.2) onto the
original Program Disk. NOTE: If you get a disk error message during the copying
process, rebuild the desktop on the floppy by ejecting it and reinserting it with the
Command and Option keys held down. If this process does not free up enough room
on your Program Disk, you will have to return it to us for replacement when you have
the time.
Now, all you have to do to update your hard drive is . . .
Double-click the new INSTALL Making the Grade™ 8.2 you just downloaded from
the internet, and install its folder to the location of your choice. Then, open that
folder, locate your new MTG, and launch away! (Be sure to examine the Read me
first, please! to see a catalog of new features and where they may be found.)
ALERT: We strongly recommend that you do not trash your older MTG
application until you successfully launch the newer 8.2.
Of course, from this point on all you ever have to do is get the latest INSTALL Making the Grade™ onto your "blessed" Hard Drive any way you can, double-click on it to decompress and install, and GO.
