itself.
Font Extension 3 (vJ-1.0.4): prevents one cause of a system hang on systems running Japanese Language Kit 1.2. Included with the
Japanese Language Kit as well as with KanjiTalk.
Foreign File Access (v5.1) [114.5/153]: enables your Mac to work with CD-ROM discs which don't use the standard Macintosh file
system, by using the corresponding component files. This includes audio CD's, ISO 9660, PhotoCD, and High Sierra formats (see
"COMPONENTS"). Note that this means you need this extension along with the respective component in order to read a non-Mac format
CD-ROM. In addition, Foreign File Access allows you to mount both the Mac and PC sectors of multi-format CD-ROMs. NOTE: the RAM
usage of Foreign File Access will vary depending upon which components are installed; if you'd like to keep your RAM usage down, you
should only activate the components for the file formats you actually use.
Frontmost Extension: Frontmost is an application package (that comes with the full AppleScript commercial product) that allows you to
create sophisticated user interfaces for AppleScript applications. The Frontmost Extension acts as a run-time assistant for projects saved as
miniature applications.
Graphics Accelerator (v1.1) PM: provides video acceleration for PCI Macs using an ATI video card. Version 1.0.5 caused a problem with
windows and toolbars in WordPerfect; this bug was fixed in version 1.0.7.
Hardware System Update 1.0: part of System 7.1 Update 1.0. Provided numerous system-level improvements. This file was not designed
for use on Performa models.
Hardware System Update 2.0: part of System 7.1 Update 2.0: Provided system-level improvements to increase overall system reliability.
This file was not designed for use on Performa models.
Hardware System Update 2.0.1: part of System 7.1 Update 3.0: Provided system-level improvements to increase system reliability and
performance. For all Macs running System 7.1 except for AV systems, which already have these enhancements built into their ROM.
InLine Filter: Helps AppleScript and PlainTalk Speech Recognition work together. Allows Worldscript users to type scripts "in-line" instead
of to a separate text bar. Crashes WordPerfect 3.1, but Novell has released a patch.
Insomnia (v7.1): originally created for Apple PowerBooks to keep them from "falling asleep." It was never intended to be used on desktop
Macs, but it seems that Energy Star Compliant monitors fall asleep when connected to several models of PowerComputing desktop
computers. Power Computing's answer is to install Insomnia, and include it on their System software CDs.
Installer Cleanup: you will most likely see this extension immediately after installing new Apple software. The Apple software installer often
places this temporary extension in your Extensions folder to make sure that the installation process was successful and that everything was
installed in the proper place. It loads during the restart immediately following installation, and should then disappear on its own. However,
some extension/startup managers will not allow the Installer Cleanup extension to do its thing. In addition, if you're using one of these
managers, at some time in the past you may have seen an extension called "Installer Cleanup" and turned it off/disabled it. Even though you
may have later deleted it, most extension/startup managers will remember your preference (of turning it off) and automatically disable any
