vMac is a MacPlus emulator, which means it runs programs for a MacPlus on your
computer! This is a very early release (0.18), so there are a some problems,
but it can still run some Mac programs. This is the Win32 port, you can get
ports for other operating systems form the vMac website.

*New since 0.18b*
-Icon bar instead of vMac menu
-Shows a ROM with a flashing X on it when there is a problem with the ROM file
-After you run vMac Win32, it gives .ROM and .DSK files an icon
-Common dialog box for inserting disks (instead of inserting disks 1-4)
-Fixed bug that prevented using paths with spaces
-Draws splash screen faster
-No more Splash.dat, now its vMac.dat - it contains the splash screen, ROM
 pictures, and icon bar
-No longer runs on Windows 3.1/3.11 with Win32s - it always ran poorly under
 Win32s anyway
-Real Time Clock runs at real time
-Its a bit faster

*New since 0.18a*
-Fixed system resource bug that causes ALL Mac apps to eventually crash
-Can have 4 disks, that you can insert into either of the 2 emulated drives
-New Icon

*New since 0.18*
-Runs faster! (Due to the faster screen and some other changes I made)
-Faster screen! (no longer draws Mac screen one pixel at a time)
-Can write to disks!
-Better mouse tracking and clicking (not perfect yet)
-Pull down menu where you can insert disks, interrupt, reset, or exit
-This file available in Plain Text (TXT) and Word 6 (DOC)

vMac will take a minute or two to boot, sometimes it may look like its
not doing anything, but give it a few minutes. To set vMac options, edit the
file vMac.cfg (it will be automatically be generated when vMac is run for the
first time).

vMac is freeware, so please redistribute it! You may bundle it in on CD-ROM,
DVD, or any other media. You may distribute it as long as you do NOT modify
any of the included files. And if you distribute it along with other other
files, YOU are legally resonsible for those other files. You may NOT charge
to distribute vMac, unless it is bundled with other software.

There are NO guarantees that this program will even work, it has been tested,
but there are still NO guarantees (use at your own risk).

*INCLUDED FILES*
vMacW32.exe - vMac program
vMac.dat - vMac data file
ReadMe_W.txt - This file
ReadMe_W.doc - This file in Word 6 format
vMac_ROM.txt - Instructions for getting a ROM image

*REQUIREMENTS*

It should run on the below operating systems:

-Windows 95 (works)
-Windows NT (works under 4.0, untested under other versions)

You need a bootable HFV disk image in a file named disk1.dsk. It will run
System 6.0.8, and probably some other versions. You can get disk images for
free from the vMac application site.

*Info: A HFV disk image is a disk image with out the first 84 bytes, a
converter is available the the vMac website.

You need a ROM image from a REAL MacPlus that YOU own in a file named
vMac.ROM. Get the program named CopyROM from the vMac website, then read the
file named vMac_ROM.txt for instructions. Once you get this ROM image, do NOT
distribute it!

Other System Requirements:
-486 with FPU (Math-coprocessor)
-640x480 SuperVGA Hi-color
-8MB RAM (May run with 4MB, but thats really NOT recommended)
-Mouse

Recommended:
-Pentium 100 or better computer
-800x600 SuperVGA Hi-color
-16MB RAM

*PROBLEMS & LIMITATIONS*

-It has trouble clicking and double-clicking!
I'm working on fixing this, but for now you have to hold down the mouse
button a bit longer than normal. It is possible to double-click, but it may
be easier to go to File - Open. Fast computers (Pentium 133 or better) might
not have this problem.

-The keyboard doesn't work properly
There is only some keyboard support, the Shift, Control, Command, Option, and
some other keys aren't supported yet.

-It has trouble when 2MB or 4MB is set
It works fine when 1MB is set, but when 2MB or 4MB are set, vMac freezes at
Welcome to Macintosh. We are working on fixing this.
