This should still be the case, at least for 68K systems.  I think PPC
systems all have to have 7.5 or later anyway.

The PPC engine got broken on MacOS 7.X during the Carbon port (it was
making Appearance Manager calls that aren't there).  This should be
fixed in the latest MetaCard engines.  Not sure how this maps to RR
versions yet, but the two should be fully synced up in the very near
future (maybe RR 1.1.1?)
