The folder that you have just begun to download contains the software that allows your computer to
run these Authorware Russian language modules. "
Authorware" is the name of the software with which all of these materials have been developed. The folder is
in what is called a .zip archive. This is just a bit of packaging that helps with the download. Save the
.zip archive, Authorware.zip to your desktop.
You must then extract the folder named "Authorware" from the .zip archive. To do this, you need to have
Winzip on your machine (you probably already have it!). The easiest
way to open the archive is to right-click on it and choose the "Extract to.../Desktop/Authorware" option.
Inside you will find a folder titled "xtras". You needn't do anything with the 'xtras' except leave
them in the 'Authorware' folder.
You will also find the Authorware Runtime Engine,"Runa4w.exe". This
is your software. After you have downloaded any of the Modules offered here, double-click on the maroon diamond icon and it will prompt you
tell it which file to open--
it will be looking for an Authorware file to open. The Authorware files that you need are located in the download folders of
the modules listed on this page.
Now, go to Step 3 and download any or all of the Modules and open them with the Authorware Runtime Engine.
