Vsys/Macintosh/XSYS/

Up to parent directory

The purpose of the files in this directory is to produce Vsys-compatible, classic Macintosh applications with clickable icons. That is done by combining a preassembled object file for the microshell with one or more existing Vsys executables, icon and font resources, and interface glue for the classic Macintosh window system. For example, the Schoonschip application MacSchip contains the shell and the Schip and Medit executables.

The main engine is Maclink, with special options for the shell application Xtop, MacGraph, MVedit, and MacSchip. MacGraph is not included in this distribution.
