= SUMMARY =

Two different sets of upgrade disks exist for the Power Macintosh version of Works 4.0. One disk set is the upgrade for the compact disc or multimedia version of Works, and the other disk set is the upgrade for the version of Works released on floppy diskettes.

The Power Macintosh upgrade for Works 4.0 intended to upgrade the product released on diskette will install and upgrade both the diskette and the compact disc (multimedia) versions of Works 4.0. However, if you use the multimedia version of the Power Macintosh upgrade disk to upgrade the diskette version of Works, the program may quit and you may receive an error message indicating the MultiMedia Works 68000 version needs to be installed.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To determine which version you are using (that is, the multimedia upgrade for the Power Macintosh or the disk upgrade for the Power Macintosh), check the following items:

  The setup icon: The multimedia setup icon is named “Microsoft MMWorks Setup.” The disk version is named “Microsoft Works Setup.”   The Readme File: The contents of the Readme file found on the first disk of each set will identify which version of the program the disks contain.   The disk label: The multimedia (compact disc) Power Macintosh setup disk set has white labels and does not contain embossed letters. The setup disk set for the disk version has the word “Microsoft” embossed onto the background of the label in light gray letters.
