SHAPE MAGIC PROGRAMS DIRECTIONS
===============================
Welcome to this freeware pack of:

   Shape Magic 2.1
   Flag Maker
   Funny Faces
   Shape Maker
   Stump Maker

Use Shape Magic 2 to create a variety of 3D models at the touch of a button. Or use the graphic  
controls to fine tune your designs. A surprisingly large numbers of shapes can be made. Part of  
the fun is to use the randomizer button to see what pops up and use that as an inspiration for  
more complex 3D models or scenes. 

Stump Maker and Shape Maker were replaced by Shape Magic but are included as they make a few  
shapes not made by Shape Magic.

Visit www.shapemagic.com for tutorials, example images and free models.

PROGRAM FILES
-------------
Each of these programs was made using HyperStudio 4. To use them, you need to install the  
HyperStudio 4 player. Once the player is installed, use it to open the program file (which end in .stk).

Note: HyperStudio requires the use of Quicktime. If you do not have Quicktime, it will be  
installed as part of the player installation. If you do not want Quicktime on your system, you  
will not be able to use Shape Magic Programs.

WINDOWS INSTALLATION
--------------------
First install Hyperstudio player by double-clicking on hs41winplayer.exe. Follow the installation  
directions.

If you do not already have Quicktime on your computer, the installer will try to add Quicktime 4.  
If this fails (most likely), go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ and download the  
current version of Quicktime and install. HyperStudio Player will then be ready to use. (I have  
tested this procedure on a Windows 7 computer without Quicktime, installed Quicktime 7, and the  
Shape Magic programs run fine.)

There is also a newer version of the player found at http://www.mackiev.com/support_hswin.html.  
Download HyperStudio 4.5 Player - DO NOT USE HYPERSTUDIO 5 Player!

MAC INSTALLATION
--------------------
Mac Users: I have not tried the Mac player but it's possible the Shape Magic programs can be  
used on a Mac. Download either the Legacy Player or the HyperStudio 4.5 Player from http://www.mackiev.com/support_hsmac.html - DO NOT USE HYPERSTUDIO 5 Player! 

USING HYPERSTUDIO
-----------------
Start HyperStudio player
The file open dialog will start automatically
Select filename.stk
