Installing Thinktank On Catalyst For The Apple III

Installing Thinktank On Catalyst For The Apple III

You may move ThinkTank (Living Videotext) to the hard disk. This will allow 
you to access it with greater ease than using floppy disks. These instructions 
assume you are moving ThinkTank to a ProFile (with a driver name .PROFILE). 
Substitute the name of your hard disk driver for .PROFILE if you wish to 
install ThinkTank on a different hard disk.
