System 6.0

System 6.0 (Finder 6.1, System Software Update 6.0) was released in April 1988. Updates from System 4.3 included: the Notification Monitor (Application menu would flash if an application needed your attention), a unified Sound Manager (same management for Macintosh Plus and II systems), NFNT font table support, MultiFinder 6, and SuperDrive Support.  New additions to the bundled software included the Map control panel (allows users to calculate the time and distance between two locations), MacroMaker (the precursor to AppleScript) and CloseView (which eventually became part of Easy Access).
