 How to work with the files of the CDs.
 Loading or importing files
In general

All files are saved in Adobe Illustrator 3.0 AI-EPS.
The CD-ROM is a Hybrid-CD and can be used for PC and MacIntosh. It is not neccessary to save all files on your computer, you can load them directly from the CD-ROM.
The CD does not contain any graphic- or signmaking-software.
To use the files you have to have a graphic- or signmaking-program that can open or import AI/EPS-Files.

For MacOS

After you put the CD in your CD-ROM Drive the icon for the CD-ROM appears on your desktop. When you work with the FINDER a window opens which shows you the content of the CD. If you have questions concerning your CD-ROM Drive please contact the manufacturer or read the manual.
Generally EPS-files can be loaded or imported into your graphic- or signmaking software directly from the CD-ROM. It is not possible to open the files from the FINDER. Please read the manual of your graphic- or signmaking program.

For PC/Windows

Generally EPS-files can be loaded or imported into your graphic- or signmaking software directly from the CD-ROM.
