Macintosh System 7.5

Before you can install QuickDraw GX, PowerTalk or OpenDoc, you need to
upgrade your Macintosh system software to System 7.5. Make sure you do the
basic system software installation before you install any of the other software
in this kit.

System 7.5 includes new features that enhance productivity and make it easier
to work with other users. Features include Open Transport networking
software, enhanced compatibility with DOS and Windows files and disks, the
ability to move information by dragging and dropping, step-by-step guidance
for learning and completing tasks, and the ability to automate tasks. You also
get Finder enhancements, such as submenus for the Apple menu, a menu-bar
clock, more colorful screen patterns, an improved Find File command,
automatic tracking of recently used items, and on-screen notes.
