Downloading and Installing Seagull BarTender Software Tips

All of the downloadable software stored on the Seagull BarTender Download Page is stored in compressed form, so that the files can be transmitted by modem in the shortest possible time. However, that means that, once you have downloaded a file, it still has to be uncompressed before you can do anything with it. Then, once it has been uncompressed, it still needs to be installed. Below, you will find some tips on downloading, uncompressing, and installing Seagull software.

Preparing a Temporary Directory to Download To

In preparation for downloading a file, create a temporary directory on your hard drive, unless you already have an empty directory suitable for temporary use. (You will usually not require the files left in the temporary directory once you have finished uncompressing and installing the downloaded software and can therefore then delete them at your option.)

Downloading Your File(s)

To download a given file, simply click on the text reference to it (usually in a different color, such as blue).

A window will now pop up, whose contents will vary depending on which Internet browser you are using. (Don't worry if your browser complains about not finding a properly configured "viewer." You want to download the file, not view it.)

Choose the option that is closest to "Save" or "Save to Disk" or just "Download."

Specify the above-mentioned empty directory as your location to download to.
