Help with running Opendoc please

I am running System 7.1, on my Centris 610, and have got Opendoc, only to 
discover that it won't install unless I have System 7.1.1 or better.

Is there any workround, or is System 7.1.1 one of those that are available
free?

I don't particularly want to upgrade to System 7.5, apart from the money, I
suppose that it will take a lot more memory out of my 8Meg.

I have added Drag&drop and thread Manager, for various programs, so is it
possible that I have all the packages I need really? But the installer is
still objecting?

I don't feel squeezed by 7.5.  It only uses significantly more RAM if you use
many of the new extensions, otherwise it just feels faster and slicker than 7.1
did.

This isn't a problem, you can simply upgrade to System 7.1.3.  I have the
B-version Updater disks and can email you them if you like.  There are two
of them.  It is called System Update 3.0.  You should be able to run
OpenDoc then.

Andrew, thanks for your help, but I have just installed System Update 3.0
on top 
of my system 7.1, and it doesn't update it to 7.1.3, it is still at system
7.1, 
and the Opendoc installer I got with the UK MacUser magazine still says it
needs 7.1.1, so won't install.  Do you have any idea whether it is possible
to get an upgrade just to 7.1.n?  Or what the differences are between 7.1
and 7.1.1?

Thanks,

Tim.

There's no upgrade from 7.1 to 7.1.1. 7.1.1 was also known as System 7 Pro
and included PowerTalk and QuickDraw GX. It wasn't a successful idea.

The only current upgrade from 7.1 is to 7.5 which costs money.
