The problem with Blesser not recognizing the new system file is because the
new system has the file type 'Zsys' (upper case Z) instead of 'zsys' (lower 
case z).  There're 2 ways to solve this problem:

1) Change the file type of your 6.0.7 system from 'zsys' to 'Zsys'.  And then
   use ResEdit and modify Blesser.  Search for the 'zsys' string in the CODE
   resource and change it to 'Zsys'.  From now on you Blesser will recognize
   both old and new system files.

2) Just change your 7.0 system file type to 'zsys'.

I prefer the first option because I know eventually I'll be using v7.0 
primarily so I don't want to change anything there.

Hope this helps.
