DESCRIPTION
AI5-7 File Checker determines which version of Illustrator an 
Illustrator file was saved in and lets you automatically add the 
version number as a suffix to the filename.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
--  Macintosh with a 68030 or greater processor
--  200K of RAM available to AI5-7 File Checker
--  Apple System Software 7.5 or later
--  AppleScript

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
AI5-7 File Checker does not require installation.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
To use AI5-7 File Checker:
1.  At the Finder, select one or more Illustrator files.
2.  Drag and drop the file(s) onto the AI5-7 File Checker 
    application icon.
3.  For each file, click the Add Suffix button to add the 
    version number as a suffix to the file name (e.g., .5.0, .7.0), 
    or click OK to continue.

AI5-7 File Checker displays which version of Illustrator a file 
was saved in, but does not display the version of Illustrator 
that created the file. For example, if you create an EPS file in 
Adobe Illustrator 7.0 and then save it in Adobe Illustrator 6.0 
format, AI5-7 File Checker will display, "The file <filename> 
was saved as an Adobe Illustrator 6.0 file."

AI5-7 File Checker supports files created with Illustrator 5.0 
or later for the Macintosh. When you try to use files saved in 
earlier versions of Illustrator, AI5-7 File Checker returns the 
message, "The file <filename> was not saved as an Adobe 
Illustrator 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 or 7.0 file." When you try to use 
files saved in Illustrator for Windows format, AI5-7 File 
Checker returns the message, "The file <filename> is not an 
artwork file."

When you use the Add Suffix feature and a filename is longer 
than 27 characters, AI5-7 File Checker truncates the original 
filename so a suffix can be added.

After you use the Add Suffix feature, you will need to relink or 
update those files that had been placed into other documents 
(e.g., publications created in Adobe PageMaker or Adobe 
FrameMaker).
