System Enhancer v. 1.3.3
Copyright 1993-2013

About:

System Enhancer is a powerful way to customize your system. In addition to installing larger color patterns (on Mac with Color QuickDraw) it can add colorful alert icons and much much more. This copy comes with lots of files of ready to install resources and an online help file. There is also an application for creating your own installable resources, and an FKey screen saver that takes less than 1/2 K.

I released System Enhancer back in 1993 through high school friends who uploaded it to AOL, and it spread from there to various BBS and MUG sites, including AMUG which put it on their CDROM collection. Twelve people bothered register System Enhancer, netting me sixty dollars; five of which my brother Ben was smart enough to make me frame. I've left the original readme intact in the archive so you can get a flavor of how software was distributed twenty years ago.

Requirements:

• MacPlus or higher, 1 MB of RAM, System 6.0
• System 6.0-7.1.1 including SAM, Virex, and all extension and control panels (as far as I know).
• Do not install anything with System Enhancer on System 7.5 or higher or your whole system will be trashed.
