7.1 can be made much more feature-rich by adding components from later systems (See Gamba's pages). On the other hand, I stripped all the PPC code from 7.5.5 for use in LC III's for elementary school programs and was really pleased with the results. Uses only 4MB RAM, has better AppleScripting support, and no less stable than 7.6.1. I was surprised! Bob F -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
