I highly recommend copying all the files from the disks to your hard drive before installing the program, then run the install program from the file copies on your hard disk. This step is necessary for the people using the Windows platform. Although the disk image supplied by Adobe for the first installation disk is only 1.4 Megs, and it should fit on a single floppy, the largest floppy I could format was 1.3 Megs. Consequently, I compressed the first disk image with the program Dropstuff. You must decompress this file, before you can run the installer.
SEA signifies that the file is self extracting.
Just opening the file the way you normally open any file, for example selecting it with the left mouse button then opening it with the righthand button, starts the self extraction process. If the file does not decompress, take the disk to your computer lab and ask for assistance. If you have an IBM formatted disk that has 1.4 Megs of free space, I am sure a lab techie will be able to decompress the file and copy it to your disk. You can then follow the above procedure. All the computers in the University of Texas School of Music Computer Lab have the Acrobat Reader installed.
