PLT MacOS Installation

The file you have downloaded is called plt.68k-mac.sit.bin or plt.ppc-mac.sit.bin, depending on whether your machine is a 680x0 (68k) machine or a PowerPC (ppc) machine.

Use Unstuffit or Stuffit Expander to unpack plt.68k-mac.sit.bin or plt.ppc-mac.sit.bin. The entire PLT distribution will be in a new plt folder.

At this point, DrScheme can be run by double-clicking on the DrScheme application. However, DrScheme will start up faster if you first create special .zo files. This takes a few minutes and requires an extra 5MB of disk space, but it is worthwhile in the long run. To create the .zo files, double-click on the Setup PLT application.

After installation, more information is available by running the Help Desk application.
