System 7.1.1

System 7.1.1, otherwise known as System 7 Pro, was released on October 4, 1993.

System 7 Pro consists of the following updated modules:


 * System 7.1.1
 * Finder 7.1.3
 * QuickTime 1.6.1
 * AppleScript 1.0
 * PowerTalk 1.0

The System file and Finder updates provide only compatibility with the new features; they, themselves, contain nothig new. Before System Update 3.0, System 7 Pro could not run on a Mac Plus because of a problem with compressed resources, according to Technical Note OS05.

For a short time after its release, people were concerned about the "Pro" factor; namely, if, alongside the Performa systems, the "Pro" systems were to be another parallel release of the Macintosh system software. This never really happened.

System 7 Pro weighed in at USD 150 -- one of the most expensive updates to the Macintosh system software ever.
