0.8 Read Me
this document
If you are not running system 7, you do not need the Eagle files. If you do not have an earlier version of Apollo, or do not mind reconfiguring your new copy from scratch, you do not need the Converter files.
I suggest that you read at least the Quick intro document before doing anything with Apollo.
Version 0.8b3 fixes a few bugs in 0.8b2, including those that crashed Macintosh SEs at the end of the startup phase and prevented the application-switching menu from appearing under system 6. It also adds a couple of new features.
Please note that 0.8b3 is still a beta release of Apollo. I think that it is free of bugs, but I cannot guarantee it. I use it daily and it hasn't crashed on my Mac (an SE/30) for ages. If you discover any bugs, or have any suggestions for improvements to Apollo, please let me know. Thank you.
