Oh *no*!

The original thread is still running, about 3 messages down from this
one, but already this *FALSE INFORMATION* is being promulgated around?

You can indeed download 9.1, as you have been able to since the day it
was released, but it is an *PATCH ONLY*. It is NOT a complete bootable
OS in its own right. You need a copy of MacOS 9.0 to upgrade.

Please don't spread the info that 9.x is now free around any further -
it is *not true.*
