\f0\b \cf0 Troubleshooting tip:
\f1\b0  The installer writes a file /Library/Receipts/GridRepublic.pkg.  If the installer refuses to let you install, trash this file and try again.\
\
This is a 
\f0\b universal binary
\f1\b0  which will run natively on both Intel and PowerPC Macs.  GridRepublic Manager requires Macintosh OS X version 10.3 or greater.  \
\

\f0\b Upgrade warning: You may lose unreported results
\f1\b0  if you are upgrading from a version of GridRepublic earlier than 5.3.21, or if you are transferring GridRepublic Data from a PowerPC Mac to an Intel Mac, or from an Intel Mac to a PowerPC Mac.  To prevent this, open GridRepublic Manager's window, select the 
\f2\i Projects
\f1\i0  tab, select each project and  press the 
\f2\i Update
\f1\i0  button.  Then select the 
\f2\i Tasks
\f1\i0  tab and make sure there are no tasks "Ready to report."\
\

\f0\b Setting GridRepublic as your screen saver:
\f1\b0  Although this installer adds the GridRepublic screen saver to your system, it does not change your screen saver settings.  To select GridRepublic as your screen saver, use the Screen Saver or Screen Effects panel in the System Preferences (accessible from the Apple menu).  \
\
It may take a minute after the screen saver starts before the science application graphics appear.  At the time of this release, SETI@home and Einstein@home are the only GridRepublic projects which have implemented screen saver support for the Macintosh.  We expect other GridRepublic projects to do so soon.\
\
Note: on some versions of the Mac OS, you may not be able to exit the GridRepublic screen saver by moving the mouse; you may need to press the mouse button or press any key on the keyboard to exit.  \
\

\f0\b Other useful information:
\f1\b0 \
\
The installer places two items onto your hard drive: GridRepublic Manager.app in your /Applications folder and GridRepublic.saver in your /Library/Screen Savers folder.  \
\
It also sets GridRepublic Manager as one of the items to automatically start whenever the user is logged in.  You can add or remove Login Items by using the Accounts Pane in the System Preferences (accessible from the Apple menu).  (These items are called "Login Items" in OS 10.4 or "Startup Items" in OS 10.3.)\
\
The installer creates the GridRepublic Data folder in your /Library/Application Support folder.  If you have previously been running GridRepublic in a different folder, copy your data into this folder.  \
\
All users who log in on the same Macintosh will share one set of GridRepublic data, ensuring that work units are processed in the most timely manner.  However, the installer sets GridRepublic Manager as a Startup item only for the user who ran the installer.  To have GridRepublic Manager start automatically when other users log in, add it to each user's Startup Items as described above.\
\
You can move GridRepublic Manager to any folder you wish.  If you do so, you will need to update the information in each user's Startup Items.  In most cases, the GridRepublic screen saver should still work properly.  If it does not, move GridRepublic Manager back to the Applications folder.\
\
The installer sets the "setuid" permission flag for the GridRepublic Manager, which allows it to write to the shared GridRepublic Data regardless of which user is logged in.  If you copy GridRepublic Manager or the GridRepublic core client to your computer without using the installer, some users may not be able to run it properly.\
