Based on PC Globe, MacGlobe ("The New World Order") contains detailed world and regional maps, a range of country maps that show the topography, natural features and major cities of each nation.
A note about the downloads available from this site:
- The first download above contains an archive of Disk Copy 4.2 images,
created with 6.3, obtained from original floppies - The second download above contains pre-installed MacGlobe on a Disk Copy 6.3 image,
best for Basilisk and SheepShaver
Installation hints:
To install the application, the disk must not be locked, otherwise the installation will be cancelled with an error msg.
When using Mini vMac, it requires a lot of times disk swapping (you're DJ, aren't you?),
until the application has been installed successfully.
So, while you're in your host operating system (Mac OS X, Mac OS Classic, Windows), open both the folder which contains the un-locked MacGlobe floppies and the folder which contains your Mini vMac boot disk (The MacGlobe Installer will complain if it finds locked floppies). Then, if the Installer or the emulated Mac OS asks you to insert a disk in request (boot disk, Installer Disk 1 or 2), just drag it onto the Mini vMac window to get it mounted within. Don't hesitate if it asks for next disk very immediately, just do, feeling a hundred times...
Seems the emulated Mac OSes in Bas and Sheep reject all the emulated drives as well while running the MacGlobe Installer, but how to re-insert them when the emulated Mac OS requests for?
While Mini vMac still remains the only emulator available to allow drag & drop, you can run the Installer within Mini vMac, but the installed MacGlobe runs within Bas and Sheep as well.
Otherwise, the second download offers a custom-made Disk Copy 6.3 disk image with MacGlobe already pre-installed. Runs fine within all the Mac emulators available, and if you're using Mac OS 6,
you need to un-lock this disk image first.
