System 7.5: Not All Performa Bundled Software Compatible (2/95)


Macintosh Performa computers come with a lot of software already installed. If you install System 7.5 on your Performa using the Safe Install application, Safe Install reports that some of the applications are not System 7.5 compatible. (These applications are listed in the following table.)

The testing of System 7.5 and bundled software has been ongoing since August 1994. As software is tested it is either confirmed as compatible with System 7.5, updated with a compatible version, or removed. This is true for both Apple and third party software.
