TOPIC

    **IMPORTANT NOTE**:
    The following information is correct as of March 31, 1995. There will be NO further updates to this article. System 7.5 is currently the standard operating system for all Macintosh computer systems. Hence, all testing of any new Apple software updates will be done with System 7.5, the current desktop standard, not with System 7.1.

    A separate article will be maintained and updated regularly with information pertaining to compatibility of all shipping Apple software products and System 7.5. See the article titled "Apple Software: Current Versions" for more information.

    The table below lists "current" Apple software products (both Apple II and Macintosh) and provides for each:

    * Version The "current" version number as of 3/95.
    * 7.1? Whether the product is compatible with System 7.1.
    * Notes Additional information on the product

    If it is not 32-bit clean, it will be noted in the notes section.

    Additional articles in the Tech Info Library describe many of the products listed below. This article does not cover any announced Apple products which are not currently shipping.
