    Professional MachTen

    I haven't done it myself, but I'd assume it'd work either way.

    Professional MachTen

    Indeed, and Tenon is unreachable at this point. I've even gone so far as to actually mail a letter to their current address. However, you can supposedly pretty easily get around the license check with a hex edit (see nn99's comment on that Macintosh Garden page). Also, Professional MachTen has...

    Professional MachTen

    I believe Tenon may have shipped a broken version of ManTen (Hypercard man page viewer) with MachTen 2.3? If you don't know about MachTen, then basically you have a "MachTen" root folder somewhere on your disk, and then within it is MachTen's filesystem with the folders you expect (var, usr...

The solution seems to be just having Desktop Mgr installed for 6.0.8 and...

    System 7.0.1 and 7.1 on the Plus

    On my Mac Plus, I have System 6.0.8, 7.0.1, and 7.1 System Folders and switch using System Picker. I have Desktop Mgr installed in order to avoid rebuilding the desktop file each time. However, at the stage of boot where the menu bar (no options on the menubar), mouse, and background are...
