2. Installation
2.1. Installing XAD 7z module For some weird reason the author of the OS4 port of OWB decided to use an archive format that isn't by default supported by the UnArc as distributed through the OS4 install CD. This requires that you download a new XAD module for this archive format so that UnArc can handle it.
- Download the XAD 7z archive from the link above. - Open the archive with unarc and extract it to ram: - Open your Ram: drive and double click on "Install" in the xad_7z directory - Once the install script is done, reboot your machine

2.5 Installing fonts (Optional)
Installing the extra fonts isn't strictly necessary but it will make pages look somewhat better than using the fallback font(s).
If you have installed these fonts before you need to remove them from fonts: and fonts:_TrueType before proceeding.
If you downloaded the #?.exe files mentioned in the first chapter: - Open each of the exe files in unarc and extract all #?.TTF files to fonts:_TrueType
andale32.exe arial32.exe arialb32.exe comic32.exe courie32.exe georgi32.exe impact32.exe times32.exe trebuc32.exe verdan32.exe webdin32.exe
- Open wd97vwr32.exe in unarc and extract "Viewer1.cab" to RAM: - Open ram:Viewer1.cab in unarc and extract "tahoma.ttf" to fonts:_TrueType
