====== Using SheepShaver ======


===== Changing the display mode =====
SheepShaver can display the MacOS user interface in an X11 window or full-screen. \\ 
In the prefences editor you select the display modes available later to MacOS. When in Mac OS go to the monitors control panel and select your desired screen size. SheepShaver will change the resolution "on the fly" \\ 


===== Using floppy disks =====
Floppy disks are not automatically detected when they are inserted. They have to be mounted explicitly: after inserting a floppy disk, press Ctrl-F1. \\ 


===== Accessing external files =====
SheepShaver will display a "Linux" disk icon (in Linux/Mac OS X) or "My Computer" icon (in Windows) on the Mac desktop that allows you to access any Linux files which are in the directory specified as "Linux Root" in the "Volumes" pane of the SheepShaver settings. You can open and save files on the "Linux\My Computer" disk from Mac applications, copy, move or rename files from the Finder etc. SheepShaver translates some file name extensions to MacOS types and vice versa, so e.g. *.jpg and *.pdf files will show the correct icons in the Finder. MacOS resources and Finder attributes are stored in hidden .rsrc and .finf directories. \\
 

===== Copying text via the clipboard =====
SheepShaver tries to keep the Linux and MacOS clipboards synchronized. That means, when you copy a piece of text under Linux, you can paste it into a MacOS application and vice versa.
