Description
MacMinitel contains SYNERtel software developed by Synersoft, a company based in Paris, France. Installation of MacMinitel will add the following files:


 * MacMinitel — the application into the target folder selected by the user.
 * MacMinitel.txt — a "Read Me" text file into the target folder selected by the user.
 * SYNERTEL/I Connect — a communications tool into the Extensions folder.
 * SYNERTEL/I Minitel — a communications tool into the Extensions folder.

Version history

 * Version 1.6 — March 1996 — Requires at least System 7.0 and MacTCP.
 * Version 2.1 — April 1996
 * Version 2.2 — May 1996 — Adds Photo mode. Requires at least System 7.1 (any older System will cause the installer to fail due to the absence of the Fonts folder).
 * NOTE: Instructions were not provided for Mac OS 7.5.2 or later, which would presumably require Open Transport in place of MacTCP.
