Installing Wire

The browser may have unstuffed the Wire archive as it was downloaded. If not, unpack the .SIT file by dropping it on StuffitExpander. You're done!

Running Wire

Double click on the "Wire" icon, or the "WireDemo" icon.

Known Issues

1. TextArea components don't wrap properly. So when you are reading Wire comments, you may need to type ENTER here and there in the comment in order to read text beyond the right margin.
2. OS X Aqua buttons are big and beautiful and may cause graphical editors to appear crowded. Expand the window as needed.

Exiting Wire

1. If you are in a patch window, select "Main Window" from the "View" menu.
2. From the Main Window, select "Exit" from the "File" menu.
3. You will be asked if you want to save any modified patches.
