SUMMARY
=======
 
Microsoft has released an updated disk image for Microsoft Works for the
Macintosh, version 3.0a. This updated disk image corrects a problem that
occurs when you install Works 3.0a on an Apple Macintosh computer that uses
an IDE-style hard disk drive or that runs Apple Macintosh System 7.5.1 or
later.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
This disk image replaces the original Works Setup Disk 1, the Install disk,
that is included with Microsoft Works 3.0a for the Macintosh. Use the
disk image, to install Works 3.0a on an Apple Macintosh computer that uses
an IDE-style hard disk drive or on a computer running Apple Macintosh
System 7.5.1 or later.
 
NOTE: For the disk image to work correctly, you must have
Microsoft Works 3.0a for the Macintosh. If you do not have Works
3.0a, you can order a set of Setup disks by contacting Microsoft Product
Support Services at (425) 635-7160. To verify that you have Works
3.0a, follow these steps:
 
1. Locate your original set of Works 3.0 Setup disks. The original set
   contains five disks.
 
2. Insert the first disk from your original set of disks. Locate
   and open the "Read Me Before Installing" file. The first line
   in the Read Me should read, "Microsoft Works for the
   Macintosh Version 3.0a Read Me."
 
Installing Works 3.0a with the new disk image
---------------------------------------------
 
To successfully install Works 3.0a on your Macintosh, follow the
installation instructions on pages xvii-xix of the "Microsoft Works
User's Guide." When you are asked to insert the Works Disk 1 --
