- I think it's time to call it quits for this thread. The above message
- proves that all relevant discussion has obviously been covered.
-
- To summarize, MODE32 is not (yet) integrated elegantly into System 7.1.
- Apple's own (new) guidelines would seem to suggest that this should be
- a "System Enabler". I do tend to agree with this line of reasoning.
-
- However, I will be happy if it is thoughtfully included in the standard
- installer installation scripts when 7.1 goes final. That would show
- enough support to me, as it shows that the configuration is officially
- supported.
-
- The final word is for those who think MODE32 should not be included in
- the standard installation (due to the HUGE amount of space that it takes
- up -- NOT). Why are you not offended by utilities like Battery, Cache
- Control, and Caps Lock?
-
- Discussion over.
