QuarkImmedia™ Viewer for Macintosh and Power Macintosh is one of two components of Quark’s forthcoming multimedia and Internet design software, QuarkImmedia. QuarkImmedia Viewer is a stand-alone application that lets you interact with robust QuarkImmedia projects over the Internet or on a local CD–ROM or hard disk. You don’t need QuarkImmedia or QuarkXPress™ to view and interact with projects created with QuarkImmedia.

Important notes
To use QuarkImmedia Viewer to view projects over the Internet, you need an Internet connection. You must also have a unique IP (Internet Protocol) address; this can either be a permanent IP address, or a “dynamic” IP address that is temporarily assigned to your computer each time you connect to the Internet.
If you have an Internet connection, you should download the latest version of QuarkImmedia Viewer by connecting to one of the following URLs:
• HTML: http://www.quark.com
• FTP: ftp://ftp.quark.com/immedia/viewers/macos/
Once you have QuarkImmedia Viewer installed (see below), you can use the following URL to connect to a Web site that was created with QuarkImmedia:
http://www.quark.com/immedia
NOTE: QuarkImmedia Viewer may not work properly on a Power Macintosh computer if Virtual Memory is turned on in the Memory control panel. If you have trouble launching QuarkImmedia Viewer or opening a project over the Internet, turn Virtual Memory off, restart your computer, and try again.
Please note that this is a preliminary version of QuarkImmedia Viewer, not the full-featured final release. Not all features are necessarily operational. The software is provided “as is” for demonstration and testing purposes only. Quark makes no warranties, either express or implied, concerning the application. We specifically do not warrant that QuarkImmedia Viewer will operate uninterrupted or error-free. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND MERCHANTABILITY. Accordingly, the application should not be used for actual production.

Hardware
• 68030-based or PowerPC processor-based Mac OS-compatible computer
• Monitor capable of displaying 256 colors or grays
• At least 3MB of free RAM (the amount of RAM required depends on the number and type of the dynamic media elements incorporated in the project you want to view)
Using the prerelease version of QuarkImmedia Viewer
Double-click the QuarkImmedia Viewer icon to launch the application. Choose View -> Show Internet Controls to display the QuarkImmedia Internet Controls palette if it is hidden. To connect to a Web site created using QuarkImmedia, click the Home button on the QuarkImmedia Internet Controls palette, or type http://www.quark.com/immedia in the Visit field and press Return.
To improve the performance of QuarkImmedia Viewer, quit the application; select the application icon in the Finder; choose Get Info from the File menu; and increase the memory allocation for the program.
Making QuarkImmedia Viewer work with your HTML browser
For QuarkImmedia Viewer to work harmoniously with your HTML browser, both applications must be configured properly. To configure QuarkImmedia Viewer:
1. Choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet to display the Internet Preferences dialog box.
2. Click Specify (next to WWW Browser) to display the Select a Browser directory dialog box.
3. Select your HTML browser and click Open.
To configure your HTML browser:
1. Display the browser preferences dialog box.
2. Create a new entry in the list of helper applications.
3. Give the new entry a MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) type of “application”, a MIME subtype of “immedia” (if applicable), and an extension or suffix of “imd”.
4. Use the Browse button to locate the QuarkImmedia Viewer application.
5. Choose or enter a File Type of ODOC.
6. Indicate that you want to launch QuarkImmedia Viewer when a QuarkImmedia project is encountered. (If you do not make this specification, the browser may simply try to save the project to your hard disk.)
Download times
Quark conducted a variety of tests to determine how long it will take to download projects created in prerelease versions of QuarkImmedia and viewed by the prerelease version of QuarkImmedia Viewer. Projects posted on the Quark prerelease Web site have been designed for delivery over a 28.8 modem. It should take no longer than 1 minute to download the first page of a project, and no more than 15 to 40 seconds for each subsequent screen. The first page takes longer to download because the entire project’s buttons, cursors, and links travel with the initial page. The remainder of the project downloads on a component-by-component basis, so retrieval times are much shorter.
For 14.4 modem users, it should take about 2 to 2.5 minutes for the first page to download. Succeeding screens will take anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute each.
For ISDN users, it should take about 15 seconds for the first page to download. Succeeding screens will take anywhere from 3 to 15 seconds each.
For T1 users, it should take about 5 seconds for the first page to download. Succeeding screens will take anywhere from 2 to 6 seconds each.
Access and download times could take longer, depending upon the amount of network traffic encountered. Please take this into consideration.
Important note to America Online and CompuServe users
At this time, you cannot use QuarkImmedia Viewer to access QuarkImmedia projects over the Internet through America Online or CompuServe. These services, which use special HTML browsers to permit Internet access, rely on a single IP address that is shared by their users. To use QuarkImmedia Viewer to view projects over the Internet, you need a permanent IP address or Internet access through an Internet provider that supplies you with a “dynamic” IP address while you are connected to the Internet.
