- Yesterday I grabbed Apple's Compatibility Checker v2.0 from
- ftp.apple.com, and was shocked to find that my System 7.01* Mac is going
- to need yet anotherpurge/upgrade for System 7.1 (which is on its way
- down here...). Is it really this bad?
-
- The Checker lists the following as 'potentially incompatible':
- ApplicationMenu Version 4.0
- E-Machines Version 3.4 (E-machines screen cp)
- MacTCP Version 1.1 (OK, we know this goes up to v1.1.1)
- Notify Version 2.11 (Novell 4 Mac software from Novell)
- SuperClock! Version 3.9.1
-
- Can someone advise if these are really OK with System 7.1?
-
- The Checker lists some old applications as Incompatible (fair enough),
- but also adds the following to the Incompatible list:
-
- Microsoft Help Version 3.1 from: Microsoft Corp.
- Netware Control Center Version 2.11 from: Novell, Inc.
-
- Both these are recent arrivals, so I question the correctness of the
- Checker. The Checker does not provide any more info about upgrading
- these. M'soft Help is for either Excel 4 or Word 5.1 (don't know
- which). Can someone advise if these are really OK with System
- 7.1?
-
- The Status of the following free/share/commercial software is 'unknown'
- to the Checker. Can someone advise if these are really OK with System
- 7.1?
-
- Add/Strip Version 2.9.2
- AlSoft DiskCheck Version 1.07
- Diagnostics Version 4.5.10 (E-Machines tester)
- Disk Manager Mac Version 2.41 (Ontrack Comp. Sys. HD formatter)
- Do It All! v.2.5 Version 2.5
- Equation Editor Version 1.0b (part of Word 5.1)
- FreeTerm 3.01 Version 3.01
- LaserJet IIID Version 2.0 (HP supplied, Insight written)
- LaserJet IIISi Version 2.11 "
- Microsoft Graph Version 3.0 (part of Word 5.1)
- MORE 3.1 Version 3.1 from Symantec
- Network Courier Version 2.0e (MS mail Mac client)
- Query it! Version 1.1
- Typequick Version 6.00.
- United v2.2 Version 2.2
- Zorba Version 0.35 (password utility)
- d'Librarian 3.01r Version 3.00
-
- Thanks for your help - perhaps Apple could use it to update the
- information base of their Compatibility Checker!
-
- Scott.
