IM V is primarily about features which were introduced with the Mac SE and Mac II. The largest single item is color, which applies only to the Mac II. Many of the other features discussed are now available on the Mac Plus via patches in the system software. I believe this includes the Resource Manager, Font Manager, Toolbox Event Manager, Menu Manager, TextEdit, International Utilities Package, Script Manager, Control Panel, Start Manager, File Manager Extensions, Printing Manager, Disk Driver, AppleTalk Manager, System Error Handler, and Shutdown Manager as described in IM V. Also, System Tools 6.0 provides the Mac SE and Mac Plus with the same Sound Manager features as the Mac II. IM V does not discuss Multifinder, which was first announced about six months after draft publication of IM V.
