For System 7.0 - 7.6 - Mac OS 9
Emulation
This app works with: SheepShaver, Basilisk II,

This is a network (compatible) installer set of FreeHand 5.5, it can be installed either over an AppleTalk network or onto an individual Macintosh. Macromedia's FreeHand 5.5 is a good upgrade from version 5.0 and introduces to FreeHand for the 1st time Photoshop plug-in compatibility, PDF document import, Photoshop-EPS Export & several other nice features & tweaks.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k PPC

SSW 7.0 to Mac OS 9.2.2
Will not run on 68000 CPU (or Mini vMac) as it has a default memory setting of 8 MB & a minimum memory requirement of 5 MB. Possibly will run on 68020 Mac if the memory is sufficient. Will run OK on 68030 CPU's and above.
Works well in '030 & '040 Basilisk II & also will run OK in SheepShaver (with some caveats).

Note - SheepShaver users:
If a standard install onto Sheepshaver causes FreeHand v5.5 to crash SheepShaver badly when running FreeHand after installing. Re-install, perform a Custom Install and choose the 680x0 version instead of the PPC or Universal version options. Running the non-native 68k binary seems to work OK on PPC SheepShaver - without crashing.

I suspect that SheepShaver's lack of MMU support is at fault & being the reason behind certain PPC apps failing to run on this emulator.
