I've tried installing WPMac using John's SheepShaver. The problem I'm having is the download installs the sheep on the desk top and when I click on it,...
... You need to perform ALL the steps listed in the file called "Install ReadMe.pdf", which is found in the "SS-WP 1.1 Installation Folder". If you don't have...
I'm starting to update the install package. It will include the latest, apparently bug-free release of SheepShaver. One of the SS fixes is the cursor...
... Delighted to hear that this is one the way. Of course you're welcome to use those Applescripts I cobbled together. The latest version (same link -but from...
... One more thought: this is beyond my AppleScript abilities, but you'll probably know how to do it: Is it possible to write a First Time Setup Applescript to...
John, If you are asking for wish lists I would wish for a one click script that would allow me to have *any* application launch the slick way you suggest that...

ED, I did download and read all the instructions before trying to use SS. I guess I didn't state my question correctly. What I was getting at is when it...
... my question correctly. What I was getting at is when it says "Click the installer icon" I didn't have one showing on my desktop. I did have the sheep...
John, One further point. I hope you might be able to write an AppleScript that would run the first time SheepShaver is opened so that it could set up the...
... When I first did this I compared SS and Basilisk, comparing not load times but speed times in intensive operation such as spell-checking. I found SS (using...

I'm confused about how to use MetaMacro. I want to batch-convert several hundred WP 3.5e docs to RTF, preparatory to opening them in another word-processor...
... Have you read and followed ALL the instructions in the "MetaMacro doc" file that is included with the macro itself (and some sample macros) in the...
Hi, Ed. I don't see anything to read or instructions to follow, and only one thing that might be a file. On my OS 10.4.11 desktop, the download deposited a...

I downloaded the WordPerfect-SheepShaver Install. OK, All runs well, but the system is 7.5.I want to upgrade to Mac OS 9. How do I do that? I have a copy of a...
... SheepShaver Prefs has an option to Boot from CD. Activate that, quit SS, insert your OS 9 CD and start SS again. Note that this may not work if your OS...

It's been awhile, but you used to have to download and install a little program called something like "Akua sweets." I don't know if this is still required,...
That *is* annoying. I'm still a fan of Stuffit, which is far more flexible and robust (at least the Stuffit Deluxe is) than the .zip archiving that is now...
