PRODUCT: Adobe(R) Illustrator(R) VERSION: 8.0 PLATFORM: Macintosh(R) RELEASED ON: 06/01/2000 Adobe Illustrator 9.0 Version Checker for Mac OS ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/illustrator/mac/8.x/checker.sea.hqx (190K) (190K) ftp://ftp-pac.adobe.com/pub/adobe/illustrator/mac/8.x/checker.sea.hqx (190K) (190K) The Adobe Illustrator 9.0 Version Checker plug-in is for use with Illustrator 8.0.x. The plug-in returns a warning when you try to open a file that was created with Adobe Illustrator 9.0. Since PDF is the native file format for Illustrator 9.0, previous versions of Illustrator that can open PDF files can open a native Illustrator 9.0 file. Features that are supported in the new native file format for Illustrator 9.0 (transparency, blending modes) are not recognized by previous versions of Illustrator, so the file opens with unexpected results. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Illustrator 8.0.x for Mac OS HANDLING NOTES After downloading a ".sea.hqx" file on a Macintosh, use StuffIt Expander(R) by Aladdin Systems, Inc. (408-761-6200, http://www.aladdinsys.com/) to access the file's contents. StuffIt Expander is available as a freeware product. To decompress a ".sea" file on a Macintosh, double-click on the ".sea" file. INSTALLATION NOTES To install the Adobe Illustrator 9.0 Version Checker plug-in: 1. Quit Illustrator 8.0.x 2. Download and Unstuff the Checker.sea.hqx file. 3. Move AI 9 Version Checker to the Illustrator 8.0: Plug-Ins folder. 4. Restart Illustrator 8.0.x.
