What is System 7.1 (691-0074-A) (CD)?

This document provides late-breaking news about System 7.1.  This information is not in the documentation that came with your software.  For all other questions, refer to your Macintosh software documentation.

APPLESHARE SERVER SOFTWARE

To install an AppleShare file server or print server on a Macintosh using System 7.1, you need AppleShare server software version 3.0.1. 

APPLE IIe CARD SOFTWARE FOR THE MACINTOSH LC II

To use the Apple IIe Card with System 7.1 on a Macintosh LC II, you need version 2.2 of Apple IIe Card Software. You should upgrade to version 2.2 only if you are using your LC II with System 7.1. Apple IIe Card Software 2.2 may also be used with the original Macintosh LC, but it is not required.  
 

INSTALLING SYSTEM 7.1 ON A MACINTOSH QUADRA 700 AND 950 

To install System 7.1 on a Macintosh Quadra, use the Installer program’s Easy Install option, or choose “System software for any Macintosh” in the Installer’s Customize window. If you use the Macintosh Quadra option in the Customize window, some parts of the Monitors control panel will not work correctly.

MacTCP USERS: CHECK VERSION BEFORE YOU INSTALL SYSTEM 7.1
 
To use MacTCP with System 7.1, you need version 1.1.1 or greater. If the version number is 1.1 or earlier, you need to remove the file from your System Folder before you install System 7.1. 

IF THE SYSTEM 7.1 INSTALLATION FAILS

The installation may fail if your existing System file contains fonts with names having more than 31 characters. 

If this happens, follow these steps:
 
1. Open the System Folder and move the System file to the desktop.
2. Restart the Macintosh using the Install disk. When the Installer opens, proceed with the installation (refer to your manual for help).
3. Restart the Macintosh when the installation is completed.
4. If you wish to use the fonts that were installed in your old System file with System 7.1, open the System file on the desktop and drag the font icons to the System Folder icon. The fonts are moved to the Fonts folder and can now be used.

If you had installed additional software that modified the System file, you will need to reinstall it after you install System 7.1. 

USING ADOBE TYPE MANAGER WITH SYSTEM 7.1

In System 7.1, a new folder named “Fonts” stores all screen and printer fonts. Fonts you drag to the System Folder are automatically installed in the Fonts folder. If you use Adobe Type Manager, but are not getting smooth type onscreen, you must move any PostScript printer fonts located in the Fonts folder to the Extensions folder.
