Omega Sane 71 Installation

[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.
