Rev 2.7.4 standalone versions

[Mark Swindell]

In my classroom I have 6 machines.   Systems: 8 (1 machine), 9 (3  
machines), 10.3 (Emac) and 10.4 (iBook).  All are on our LAN.  Both  
the latter machines access Classic mode from time to time.  Schools  
still run OS 9 in many cases.  Quantifiable stats I don't have, but I  
know it's true.  Many of the older machines are on their last legs,  
but until they literally keel over, they will be in some state of use.
