I had to do the same thing. I use a Quadra 660av (a 68040 cpu) and am
still running System 7.1
I downloaded "Appearance_SDK_1.0.3_v1.0.1.sit" and it unStuffed okay.
The SIT file was about 2,934 Kbytes

I was worried about piling on yet another extension into my System
Folder, but it doesn't seem to have any conflicts with software that I
was running before. POV-Ray 3.1 has been running okay.
