READ ME 
         
This Read Me file contains late-breaking information about your Macintosh and system software version 7.1.   This Read Me document provides information that changed after the computer manuals were published.  If a topic is covered in your manuals and in this Read Me document, use the information in the Read Me document.

•  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. 

• QUICKTIME INSTALLATION AND BACKUP

The QuickTime system software extension adds capabilities that let your application programs integrate graphics, sound, video, and animation into documents.  The QuickTime extension has been pre-installed on your hard drive, so no installation is required.

• USING THE QUICKTIME EXTENSION

You do not interact directly with the QuickTime extension.  It works behind the scenes as part of your system software, providing new features to the application programs that support QuickTime.  The specific features of QuickTime that you use and how they are presented depend on the programs you use.

•  IF INSTALLATION FAILS WHEN REINSTALLING SYSTEM 7.1 
        
At times, you might need to reinstall System 7.1.  The reinstallation 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 Me First disk or CD disc. When the Installer opens, proceed with the installation (refer to your user's guide for help).
3. Restart the Macintosh when the installation is complete.
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 previously installed additional software that modified the old System file, you will need to reinstall that software 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 icon are automatically installed in the Fonts folder. If you use Adobe Type Manager (ATM), but are not seeing smooth type onscreen, you must move any PostScript printer fonts located in the Fonts folder to the Extensions folder.  You can contact Adobe to obtain a new version of ATM that will allow you to use the Fonts folder. 
         
•  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 your MacTCP version number is 1.1 or earlier, remove MacTCP from your System Folder before you install System 7.1. 

•  MacCHECK UTILITY 

A utility named MacCheck has been pre-installed on your Macintosh, and is located in the Utilities folder.  MacCheck creates a profile of your Macintosh's software and hardware to give you more information about your Macintosh.  If you need to call Apple's phone support because you are experiencing a problem with your Macintosh, please launch MacCheck before you call Apple, as the profile information will also help the phone support people in diagnosing your problem.

MacCheck also checks for corrupted system files and directories on your mounted hard drives and unlocked floppies.  MacCheck provides on-line help about the profile data and information about what to do if MacCheck detects any problems with your Macintosh.

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.

In the United States, you can call the Apple Customer Assistance Center at (800) 776-2333 to request Apple IIe Card Software version 2.2. The new software is also available on AppleLink (AppleLink path:  Apple Products: Apple II: Apple II Product Information: Apple IIe Card).  

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.
