When Insomniac is running under System 6.0.x, it creates a “Insomniac preferences” file in your “System” folder. If you upgrade to System 7 and want to preserve your preferences and estimation data, copy these files to the “Preferences” folder in your “System” folder. Otherwise, Insomniac will create new files in your “Preferences” folder using default values.
Compatibility
Insomniac requires System 6.0.8 or later. It is fully compatible with System 7.0.x and System 7.1.
Insomniac will only run on a Macintosh notebook computer that is capable of "waking" itself up. This currently includes the Macintosh Portable, PowerBook 100, Macintosh Duos, and the PowerBook 500 series.
Thanks!
