			This page is for installing SCORE on MacOS versions that can run 32-bit programs (versions 10.15 and earlier). For MacOS versions that run only 64-bit applications (10.16 and later), use Wineskins to run SCORE.

	Download and install Boxer.app from http://boxerapp.com		Download and install Boxer.app from http://boxerapp.com

	The version used for this installation manual was Boxer 1.3 (May 2012). Open the Boxer.app program. The first time you run it, a directory called "DOS Games" will be installed in your home directory. This is the default location for the SCORE 4 installation in the next section although the SCORE installation may be moved anywhere else after it has been created.

			You can create a batch file called scor4.bat in the C:\ directory which has these contents:

			SCROLFIX.COM
			\scor4\scor4.exe

			Then you can type "scor4" in the C:\ directory to start score from the batch file. You can also move to a particular directory which contains your score files if you store them in a different location. Running a batch file something like:

			SCROLFIX.COM
			cd files
			\scor4\scor4.exe

			If the directory "C:\files" exists.

+To start the virtual MS-DOS computer, double click on the "Score4.boxer" icon, or you can drag it to install it in the Dock for more immediate access.  You can move Score4.boxer to any other location besides ~/DOS Games/Score4.boxer, such as ~/Applications/Score4.boxer, etc.  The original files used to create the installation were copied into the .boxer directory and they are no longer needed for running SOCRE in the virtual MS-DOS computer.  The Score4.boxer folder contains a subdirectory called "C dos.harddisk" which contains the actual contents of the virtual MS-DOS computer's hard disk.  You can manipulate the files/directories in this subdirectory as well as in the virtual computer (although you may have to restart the virtual computer to see any changes).  For example, you can create symbolic links to other directories in your account where you store SCORE data file so that they do not have to be stored inside of the Score4.boxer file system.

 In the default settings for OS X, you can access function keys by pressing and holding down the {{keypress|Fn}} key and then one of the function keys at the top row of the keyboard ({{keypress|F1}}, {{keypress|F2}}, {{keypress|F3}}, etc.).
