Tools to Explore You can't explore a planet without the right equipment. Most of the lesson plans, tutorials and articles on this CD are in Acrobat format, so you will need Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to view them. Videos are in QuickTime format, which is also included below. Most of the software is compressed and will need to be unstuffed (.sit on Macintosh), or unzipped (.zip on Windows), before you can install it on your computer. For windows, download Aladdin Expander or Winzip80 from this CD onto your computer. For Macs, if you don't already have Stuffit Expander then download and install it. Happy exploring! Acrobat Reader for Windows & Macintosh (go to Adobe) You need this to view any files in the portable document format (.pdf). QuickTime for Windows and Macintosh (go to Apple) QuickTime is an industry standard for digital video. Version 4 also includes streaming Internet TV. After you install this version of Quictime, open the Movie Player and click on the bottom bar. A drawer will open with buttons to several on-line TV networks. This is really cool! Decompression Software Most software on the Internet is compressed and requires a software program to unstuff or unzip it. If you have a Mac and Netscape installed, you probably have Stuffit Expander already. Check in your Netscape folder. Aladdin Expander for Windows and Macintosh (go to Aladdin) WinZip for Windows (go to WinZip)
