Info On How To Download...

The file(s) you will download have been compressed to Stuffit archives, then converted to ASCII binhex files. Most Mac web sites distribute software in this way. To expand this to it's original form, you will need StuffIt Expander v5.1 or newer. If you don't already have that, click here to download it from Alladin Systems. If you are on a Mac and using a browser like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, the browser should automatically use Stuffit to expland the files for you. You just need to click on the download links below.

NOTE: If you are downloading through Unix or a Windows PC, sometimes the browser will try to un-binhex the file during the download. Since this will not work, you need to tell the browser not to do this. For example, from Netscape on Windows or Unix, you would right-click on the link. From the popup menu that appears, choose "Save this Link As...", then pick "Source" from the format menu in the save dialog. Then click "Save". This downloads without any conversions. Internet Explorer has a similar feature. Once you have the .hqx files downloaded, move them to your Mac, then expand them with Stuffit Expander.

Info On What To Download...

What you should download is determined by what kind of Mac you have. It will either be a PowerPC Mac or a 68K Mac. Not sure? Here's how you tell. The iBook, iMac, and all "G3" Macs are PowerPC Macs. All other PowerPC Macs from Apple have four digits in the model number or say "PowerPC" on the front. For example, 6400, 7200, 7500, 8100, etc are all PowerPC Macs. All of the older 68K Macs (including the older Performas) have three digits in the model number. For example, 575, 580, 630, 660, etc are all 68K based Macs.

If you have a PowerPC Mac from Apple or any Mac clone, then download the "Render-Boy PPC" folder. If you have a 68K Mac, then download the "Render-Boy 68K" folder. In either case, you will also want to download the "Render-Boy Documentation", "Render-Boy Libraries", and "Render-Boy Extras" folders.
