Gus, an Apple IIGS emulator for Classic (PPC) Macintosh, the
development of which was "unofficially" supported by Apple.

> While Apple discussed creating an LC plug-in IIgs card, they felt

> investment in the IIgs software as well, which made upgrading to a
> Macintosh a less attractive proposition than had been for the Apple
> IIe. As a result, Apple software designers Dave Lyons and Andy
> Nicholas spearheaded a program to develop a IIgs software emulator
> they called Gus in their spare time, which would run on the Power
> Macintosh only.

> Apple II emulators.

I've included with this archive, 2 disk image files pre-loaded with
SSW 6.x for Apple IIGS and HyperCard IIGS (both are free DL's from
Apple) plus a few other goodies such as the game Lost Tribes for IIGS,
rEdit (similar to ResEdit) and GShrink, a IIGS compression program and
more.

To Run: Extract the archive anywhere onto a PPC Mac running Mac OS
9.2.2 or earlier (or SheepShaver) and double-click the "Gus 1.0d4"
icon inside the extracted folder and you're set to go.

Things for the IIGS novice to watch for: Little; it's very similar to
using a classic Mac OS, menu-wise.
Shutting down the emulator; Go to the IIGS "Special" menu and choose
"Shutdown", then quit the emulator itself.
Gus can read/write to Disk Copy 4.2 (ProDOS formatted) image files.
Placing any image file that can be read/written to, inside the same
folder as Gus will be mounted as a disk in the emulator when it
launches.
