Appearance is required for some apps (Eudora 4.x and higher come to mind) while
I can't think of anything that would use Nav Services.  The Appearance stuff is
probably marginally more stable than something like Aaron but it also uses more
RAM, so it's a bit of a tradeoff.

I understand you can install Appearance Manager and Navigation Services in
OS 7.5.5. Are there any benefits to doing so? How would the Appearance
Manager compare to products such as Aaron? Are there 68k programs that
support Navigation Services?

thanks, jim

The update to OT 1.1.2 (which definitely works with 7.5.3/7.5.5) was not
simply a swap of extensions; It also modified the Shared Library Manager
(ASLM). The update required OT 1.1 or 1.1.1. It could not be installed over
OT 1.0.  Once OT 1.1.2 was installed, you could not just decide to go back
to a previous version by re-installing the old extensions.

I would hope that if it were practical to go beyond 1.1.2, then Apple would
have issued an installer, but maybe that's just wishful thinking.

All of this suggests that you shouldn't expect installing the version from
8,1 to be straightforward. But it seems like the only way to find out would
be to try it. I expect you would find out pretty quickly if it didn't work.

There are installers for several versions of OT here:

Never heard of anyone doing it, but let us know if it works OK.

Open Transport from 8.1...

[Mark]

...can one just swap it into a 7.5.3 rev2, like one
might do with the Appearance control panel? Still
trying to get my LC 580 on an ethernet network, and
I've heard the OT in 8.1 is so much better.
