Version 8 of the Macintosh Updates Database - 15-May-94

This file contains a huge amount of information regarding all of the
Macintosh software updates from Apple that we know about currently.
Although not historically complete, the database contains most everything
from System 6.0.7 on up, including intermediate versions of things like
System 7 Tune-Up. Included in the database are things like which Mac models
the update applies to, what versions the update supersedes and is
superseded by, what the new functions are, what the fixes are, when it was
released, where the files are located online, and other good stuff.
Frankly, anyone who deals with the Macintosh seriously should snag a copy
of this database since you never know when you'll want to find out what the
latest version of the Network Software Installer is, or what version of
which Enabler you need to get for your buddy's new Mac.

As with anything that attempts to track a moving target like Macintosh
software updates, this database is constantly in flux. There are plenty of
typographical errors and things we couldn't find in time - don't worry
about the typos, but if you find errors or have updates - send them to
(But read the READ ME first, since we know
about a lot of updates that we haven't had time to enter.)

This file contains versions in in ClarisWorks database format, setext
(suitable for viewing with Easy View) and straight tab-delimited text (if
you wish to import into HyperCard or FileMaker Pro or something similar).
If you just want the setext version to view on a Unix box without any
decoding, look for:

ftp://ftp.tidbits.com/pub/tidbits/misc/mac-updates-94-05-15.etx

The database was created by Tim Levy with help
from Alex Sirota, and I've done the setext conversions in Nisus. Look for
an article in TidBITS#223 for more information.

cheers ... Adam C. Engst, TidBITS Editor
