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.
