HyperSense Player Installation

Included with this release of HyperSense Player:

This release of the HyperSense Player is distributed as one Installer package (.pkg file) on a total of 4 floppy disks.  The package contains the application itself, in Multi-Architecture Binary format (for NeXT, Intel, HP PA-RISC, and Sparc computers), plus a collection of sample documents.

The package requires approximately 8 MB of disk space when installed "fat" (for all four architectures).  If support for fewer architectures is required, approximately 1.5 MB can be saved for each architecture which is not installed.  If desired, some of the demo documents may be deleted after installation for further space savings.

Before you install HyperSense Player:

If you have an earlier version of HyperSense Player installed on your system, you should remove it before installing this release, following steps A, B, and C below.

A.	Preserve any files that are part of the original distribution which you have modified or would like to keep, by copying them to another directory.  In particular, if you have a licensed copy of HyperSense Player, you should copy the License or NetworkLicense file located in HyperSensePlayer.app.  The new package includes a complimentary single-user license, which may replace your previous license during the installation process.  By making a copy of these files you can easily restore your license after installation.

	You should also save copies of any documents which were part of an earlier release that you have modified or in which you have stored additional data.  A likely example is the address book (Addresses.sense) if you have entered personal data into it.  These documents are by default located in HyperSensePlayer.app/DemoDocs, and can be copied into your home directory to prevent them from being deleted during step B. 

B.	Remove the earlier version of HyperSense Player by locating the package receipt in the /NextLibrary/Receipts directory.  Double-click it and click the "Delete" button in the Installer window that appears.  You will need to be logged in under the same account which installed the package in order to be able to delete it.

C.	Remove or rename your Home document (Home.sense, located in your home directory, or other directory specified in your HyperSensePlayer HomePath default).  This will allow HyperSense Player to create a new Home document for you, containing any new changes or additions made to the Home document since the previous release.

To install HyperSense Player:

0.	If you are installing under NEXTSTEP 3.1 you must run the program on the first floppy disk (Disk 1) called InstallPrepNS3.1.  This program will install a substitute bill of materials for the package that is compatible with NEXTSTEP 3.1.

	DO NOT RUN this program if you are installing under NEXTSTEP 3.2 or a later version.  The 3.1 bill of materials prevents the Installer from recognizing the multiple architectures in the package, so it won't be able to thin the program for selected architectures.  You will need to thin the program manually after installation.

1.	Double-click HyperSensePlayer.pkg on the first floppy disk (Disk 1).  This should launch the Installer application.

2.	Click the Install button and select the directory where you would like to install the HyperSense Player application.  You should install it either in your personal Apps directory (~/Apps), or in /LocalApps.  Be sure to select all machine architectures on which you want to run the HyperSense Player.
	
	Insert the second and later disks (Disk 2, Disk 3 and Disk 4) when you are prompted for them to complete the installation. If a panel appears indicating that there was trouble ejecting the first disk, simply click OK. Manually select the disk's icon in the workspace and then eject the disk by clicking "Eject" from the Disk menu. The installation should then proceed normally.
	
	This step will install HyperSensePlayer.app in the selected directory.
	
3.	Quit the Installer program.

4.	Launch HyperSense Player by double-clicking HyperSensePlayer.app in your ~/Apps or /LocalApps directory.  You may want to drag the HyperSense Player icon into your Dock to make it easily accessible in the future.  Be sure to answer "Yes" when asked if you want to create a new Home document.
	
5.	The HyperSense Player contains one free license. This license allows only one copy of the Player to be used at any given time within a company or organization. If you require more licenses, or would like to obtain licenses for the full HyperSense Development environment, contact Thoughtful Software to purchase them for your organization.
