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.
