> At Ease was an alternative to the Macintosh desktop developed by

> computer can be used. In addition to the beige-colored Applications

> into the computer and a green-colored folder would appear for a
> floppy disk. These features were controlled for each user by the
> administrator. At Ease for Workgroups also included an
> Administration program that can add users and workgroups to the
> network.

The At Ease 3 CDROM Prefs Patch is a system extension that corrects a

versions 3.0 through 3.0.3. This patch does not affect versions of At
Ease earlier than 3.0, or At Ease for Workgroups version 4.0.
Problem Description
This patch corrects a problem with the CD-ROM Preferences command in
the At Ease setup application. When you display the settings for a CD-
ROM disc listed in the CD-ROM Preferences dialog box, the settings for
a different CD-ROM disc may appear. If your CD-ROM settings have been
corrupted, you should delete your CD-ROM Preferences file...
