System 7 Tuneup Advantages
Copyright 1992, Apple Computer, Inc.
For all System 7 users, Apple has introduced the System 7 Tune-Up. The Tune-Up
smooths the use of the Macintosh, especially in low-memory situations:
- It eliminates the “Application prefers more memory” dialog box;
- When launching an application, it can automatically quit other
applications that aren’t in use;
- If there’s not enough memory to print in the background, it automatically
switches to foreground printing; and
- When AppleTalk is turned off, it frees up 125K to 200K additional
system memory.
User testing shows that the Tune-Up significantly improves the experience of
working with System 7 in low-memory situations. In addition, the Tune-Up
speeds up printing on all printers, especially the LaserWriter and StyleWriter;
speeds up Chooser operation on large networks; increases the speed of Finder
file copying up to 20% for large files; and fixes known bugs with Macintosh
File Sharing and PrintMonitor file corruption.
The Tune-Up is a recommended upgrade for all System 7.0 and 7.0.1 users. It
consists of one 800K disk and documentation--it is NOT a new set of system
software. It can be installed easily, even over a network.
All System 7-based Macintosh CPUs will begin to include the Tune-Up starting
this quarter, as will the System 7 Personal and Group Upgrade Kits.
For distribution to current System 7 users, copies of the Tune-Up disk have
been sent to all Apple Resellers, Solutions Partners, and field personnel, and
the disk files are posted on AppleLink and other licensed electronic bulletin
boards. Resellers and licensed user groups are authorized to duplicate the
Tune-Up for all Macintosh users. Copies will be mailed automatically to
subscribers to the Apple Software Upgrade Program (ASUP).
AFTER January 13, 1992, customers wanting quick and easy delivery of the
Tune-Up software can order the disk and documentation directly from Apple for
$10 by calling 1-800-947-5176.
