Cocktail 3.5 (Jaguar Edition) requires Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server
10.2-10.2.8 with BSD subsystem (included in default Mac OS X
installation).

All latest versions of Cocktail are available as free updates for
registered users. When unregistered, Cocktail runs in demo mode and
will expire after the tenth launch.

Cocktail 3.5 (Jaguar Edition) is available for download from
http://www.macosxcocktail.com/download.html.

To download Cocktail from our iDisk, choose Connect To Server from the
Go menu, type “http://idisk.mac.com/macosxcocktail-Public” and click
Connect. If you are using Mac OS X 10.3, choose iDisk from the Go menu,
choose Other User’s Public Folder from the submenu, type
“macosxcocktail” in the Member Name field and click Connect.

To install Cocktail, double click the downloaded .dmg file to mount it
as a virtual disk on your desktop. This disk contains the program file
that you should drag to your Applications folder. The virtual disk will
be disposed of when you shut down your Mac but you may unmount it
earlier by dragging its icon to the Trash.

Cocktail is currently not compatible with any of the preview builds of
Mac OS X 10.4. We are expecting to release the first public beta of
Cocktail (Tiger Edition) in April 2005.
