[Note: This is a second posting. The first one was bounced because
some mailer had mangled the header.]

Here's an article which describes in great detail how to install Apple's
Omega Sane resources into the new System 7.1. This article was written
by Dick Andrian, Editor of the Northeastern Users of Macintosh (NEUMac)
User's Group newsletter, and it greatly expands the clarifies the
theme expounded in a recent MacinTouch article in MacWeek. The article
is in MS Word 5.0 format, and includes several screen snapshots of
the various ResEdit steps involved.
For those unfamiliar with the background, Omega Sane is a patch to
the Standard Apple Numerics Environment (SANE) which implements
floating-point arithmetic. The Omega patch speeded up most
F.P. calcs substantially, and fixed a few bugs as well. The Omega
patch was included in System 7.0, but unaccountably omitted in
System 7.1. To make things even more confusing, the Quadra 950
has the Omega SANE patch in its ROM's, but most other Macs don't.

(note to Info-Mac editors: the article follows in a BinHex'd
Compactor Pro self-extracting Archive in the next two mail
messages.)

I think I sent this message to you about 12Aug93, yet I have not
