MacOX emulation is provided by a layer that resides between the
Macintosh application and the toolbox ROM and the A/UX kernel. Any
new functionaly, like System 7, has to be taken into consideration in 
this layer - it does not help to just install a new MacOS system on
top of A/UX. A/UX 2.0.1 does not have any System 7 features, because
System 7 is not even officially released yet.
