• Netscape 7.x, Mozilla 1.3.1, or Safari 1.x

Procedures for installing Electronic Beowulf 2.0:

• Download the installation file (Ctrl-click; select "save link target as")
• Insert the original Electronic Beowulf CD-1 in your CD drive
• Unpack the .sea  file onto your desktop using Stuffit Expander*
• Open the unstuffed folder. Ctrl-click the start file and select "open with Netscape" or "open with Safari"
• Note: For The Electronic Beowulf to run correctly on Mac OS X using Netscape or Mozilla, the path name must not contain any spaces (thus, files in a folder called "EBeo2 Folder" will not run correctly, while files in a folder called "EBeo2Folder" will). The Safari browser does not have such problems, and is available as a free download at http://www.apple.com/safari/download/.

*Stuffit Expander comes with new Macintosh computers. If you do not have Stuffit Expander, a free download is available.
