This
is an original Macintosh application. They didn't use installers
back in those days. The software came on a 400k diskette, ready to
use. Regarding the space available as shown in the picture of the
disk window, a brief explanation is appropriate. I couldn't open
the 400k diskette on my Power Macintosh G3 Tower so I opened it on a Macintosh
Classic. I didn't know how to make a picture of the disk window on
the Macintosh Classic, so I made an 800k disk image on the Macintosh Classic.
I made the disk image an 800k disk image instead of a 400k disk image to
that I'd be able to open it on the G3 Tower. I transferred the 800k
disk image to the G3 Tower, opened it, and made the picture. That's
why the picture shows 479k still available even though it's only a 400k
diskette. The picture was made from the 800k disk image, not from
the actual 400k diskette.
I've provided three disk images. Two of them are 400 K disk images
and one of them is an 800 K disk image.
It takes a very old computer to mount a 400 K disk image. I was
able to mount both of the 400 K disk images using an old Mac Classic, running
System 7.0.1. Each of the disk images required a different version
of Disk Copy. Here are the versions of Disk Copy that I used for
each of the versions of the 400 K disk images. I encountered occasional
error messages during the processes but the processes worked and the images
were mounted successfully.
MacWrite 4.5.image (400 K disk image)
I mounted this disk image using MountImage 1.1b3, which came with Disk
Copy 4.2.
MacWrite 4.5_400K.img (400 K disk image)
I mounted this disk image using Disk Copy 6.1.3.
You should be able to mount the 800 K disk image using whatever version
of Disk Copy will run on your computer .
When you download the stuffed archive, you'll probably get error messages
regarding the 400 K image files. Send the stuffed archive through
your local network, or transfer it on a diskette, to a computer that's
old enough to recognize Macintosh File Structure (MFS) and unstuff it there.
