- My understanding is that System 7.1 will be available the same way
- tghat all previous versions of System software were - from a dealer for the
- average user (with docs!) or via electronic services (like ftp.apple.com)
- for those with access.
-
- As far as the different language script "modules", that is a good
- question. Again, I would guess that the end user will be able to go to
- their local dealer for their local language (if not already included in
- the box), but that you would have to go to the country of origin for their
- local language (otherwise Apple gets into these grey market problems). I
- would guess/hope that the scdripts would be available from ftp.apple.com and
- possbily other electronic services.
-
- At this time, most of the scripts come with True Type fonts in
- addition to bitmaps (INCLUDING KANJI!). No ATM fonts are provided since
- they are not supported by the Mac OS.
