README.TRIAL (last updated on 5/18/94) TRIAL VERSION OF APPLE'S MAE 1.0 PRODUCT The files in this directory allow you to install the Apple MAE Trial product for either Sun SPARC workstations running Solaris 2.3 and later, or HP workstations running HP-UX 9.01 and later. The Trial product allows you to evaluate MAE for 8 total hours on your workstation. After the 8 hours, the Trial product will shut down and can be removed from your workstation. Printing is also disabled in the MAE Trial. Note: The minimum MAE Trial ftp package is about 12 megabytes. This can take a while to download across some slower internet connections.

It includes the MAE Trial version, online documentation, a man page, and two trial applications (Claris Works 2.0 and MacProject Pro). /pub/mae/trial/MAE_SOLARIS.tar.Z - (12 MB) Same as MAE_HPUX.tar.Z, except for Sun SPARC workstations running Solaris 2.3 or later. Download the correct file for your workstation. INSTALLING AND STARTING Make a directory anywhere you have a free 16 MB of hard disk space (22 MB recommended). Place the MAE_HPUX.tar.Z or MAE_SOLARIS.tar.Z file in that directory. Uncompress it and untar it with the following command: On HP Workstations: zcat MAE_HPUX.tar.Z | tar -xvf - On Sun Workstations: zcat MAE_SOLARIS.tar.Z | tar -xvf - Now run the installer, which is called INSTALL.SH, using the command: ./INSTALL.SH Follow the on-screen instructions. After installing MAE, type the pathname for mae and press Return. MAE is usually installed and run as a regular user (not root), and therefore mae is probably in $HOME/apple/bin/mae.
