System 7.5: Alarm Clock DA Not Included (3/95)


I noticed that System 7.5 does not include the Alarm Clock DA. Does the one from System 7 work?

Yes, the Alarm Clock DA from System 7.x works with System 7.5. If you install System 7.5 on a Macintosh that is already running System 7, without first disabling the current system folder, the System 7.5 Installer leaves the Alarm Clock DA in the Apple Menu Items folder. It functions just as it did under System 7.

A clean install of System 7.5 does not install the Alarm Clock DA because it is not included with System 7.5. If you want to continue to use the Alarm Clock DA with System 7.5 and you have done a clean install, you must put it in the Apple Menu Items folder manually from your previous System 7 system folder or from the original System 7 diskettes.
