This CD has been written and tested for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS/OSX compatability. It uses Flash 6 animation, and wmv format movies. Copies of helper applications that we believe should work are also included on the cd if you are having problems. Please see below for specific advice on particular platform/browser combinations. If none of that helps, feel free to email spinfocd@mit.edu for assistance. We would also appreciate it greatly if you could drop us a note with any problems that you encounter and resolve, so that we can sort them out for the next edition of the cd.

Platform Specific Help
Windows Mac Linux

If all else fails, when you get here, the cd should work on all the computers in the Sidney Pacific athena cluster. Probably.
