You have a solid list of items that should do the trick for them. > Am I missing something? Some additional items for your systems could be: 1) JPEGview - a JPEG image viewer that has a couple of extra options than Quictime Picture Viewer: it allows you to do a slideshow of images, you can zoom in on a part of an image, and you can save your files in a pict, and jjif formats (the registered version of Quicktime does give you more format saving options). 2) iCab 68k - although some people critizise it, you can give it the benefit of the doubt. I actually like the bookmark toolbar myself (not available with other 68k browsers) and until Opera finally decides to port their browser, it is the only browser currently in development for 68k's. It's also small in size and ram use. 3) Systems 8.1 and 7.1 - either system appears to run a little better than 7.6. Afaik, 7.1 is upgradeable enough (see faq for more on this) to be fast, ram conservative, and compatible with most everything. Less is more. 8.1 is more modern and also sports a smaller ram footprint than 7.6. It was the precursor to 8.5.x-9.2.x and although not as fast or ram conservative as 7.1, is probably preferred to 7.6. All you need is the actual system software. 4) One of my favorites ... Find Pro III, a very powerful find utility; it sure beats the basic 7.5 find feature (it can trash, move, copy, files and folders; it even find hidden items and searches inside files for specific words or phrases, iirc). Unfortunately, this one seems to have been wiped from the face of the net, so do let me know if you come accross it. If you need more help with items 1-3, let me know, > Is there a database that lists the > versions/requirements for old programs? Completely? Not that I'm aware of.
