Open Transport 1.3 to 1.3.1: Update Information

The Open Transport 1.3 to 1.3.1 Update application may be used with any Mac OS compatible computer and Mac OS 8.1. Some utility software will report files in Mac OS 8.1 as damaged or corrupted. Although these files are not actually damaged, using this application will upgrade these files so they are no longer reported as damaged or corrupted.

Use of this Open Transport 1.3 to 1.3.1 Update application is optional and is not required. Use of this application will only correct how these files are viewed by certain utility software. Use of this application will not correct any other issues. There is no functional difference between Open Transport version 1.3 and version 1.3.1. Open Transport files with the version number 1.3.1 have simply been resized to remove the extra bytes of unused data. International releases of Mac OS 8.1 do not contain the extra bytes.
