Apple 6400 appendix Installing application programs

Installing application programs

You may want to buy and install additional application programs. See the manuals you receive with these programs for instructions on installing and using them.

To use your programs most effectively, follow these guidelines:

mRead the manuals you received with the program if you have problems using it.

mPut only one copy of each program on your hard disk. Having more than one copy can cause errors.

mWhenever you copy a program disk to your hard disk, be careful not to copy a System Folder.

mIf a program malfunctions consistently, try installing a fresh copy. If that doesn’t help, find out from the software manufacturer whether your version of the program is compatible with your computer model and the system software you’re using.

Note: You may want to put your application programs in the Launcher. This way they are easier to find than when they are stored in the Applications folder on your hard disk and they can be accessed by a simple click of a Launcher button. To put a program in the Launcher, drag the program’s icon (or its alias) into the Launcher window or onto the Applications category button in the Launcher. (If you need detailed instructions, see the “Tips & Features” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide [h] menu, and select “How do I use the Launcher?”)
