- Software
This CD-ROM works best with Netscape
NavigatorTM 3.0 and better, Microsoft
Internet ExplorerTM 3.0 and better, or any
other frames capable WWW client that also supports the plugins required. Use is
made of the QuicktimeTM
plug-in for viewing video clips, and hard-copy output is
provided for papers using AcrobatTM.
(The Keynote addresses, Christine
McCarthy's review of Artifice, and Mike Austin's paper
contain Quicktime video clips which requires QuicktimeTM.)
To get the software:
|
Netscape Navigator
Download the Navigator from the Netscape Home Page. At the release
of this CD Netscape 3.0 was current, and came bundled
with the QuickTime plugin. You will still need to install QuickTime on your
system.
|
|
Internet Explorer
Download MicroSoft's Internet Explorer from their WWW site. Internet Explorer 3.0
for Windows 95/NT has an inate ability to play QuickTime media, we still recommend
using the plugin made by Apple.
|
|
QuickTime
Apple's QuickTime WWW site includes links to the plugins
for Navigator and Explorer, as well as the facility to download
QuickTime for your particular hardware platform and operating system.
You need to have QuickTime 2.1 or better on the Macintosh, or
QuickTime 2.1.1 or better for Windows.
QuickTime can be very demanding of system resources, the more
memory there is available, the better.

|
Acrobat
Adobe provide the acrobat reader free from
their WWW site. The PDF files provided as part of
the Interstices CD were created using Acrobat
Exchange 2.0.
