>So what exactly does the desk top manger do, It allows System 6 to use System 7+ desktop files. Without it, System 6 wants to build it's own because it's desktop files are different than the later systems', and it can't see/use those later System desktop files.
>and why would it not be part of the CDROM s/w? Because if it were then it would be screwed up under System 7+. The Desktop Mgr extension is for only System 6 (and lower?), it causes problems if installed with higher systems. >I used version 5.0.1. Maybe thats too "new" :-) It's not too new. I use version 5.3.1 with System 6, but 5.3.1 won't work with the audio CDs, so, your 5.0.1 sounds just right because it's done both for you. >John -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
