... Let's see you do THAT Snow Leopard...

Actually, using SheepShaver (which is no different than Apple's Classic environment and in some ways better), I can easily do all of that under Snow Leopard, probably faster than on your G5. :beige:

"SheepShaver"... hmmm.... I'll have to check that out on my SnowLeopard MacBook Pro. Thanks for the info!

I'm not entirely sure why you had to shut down all applications in OS X. What did that accomplish since you were using Classic exclusively?

It was a coded requirement of the classic installer. I had no option but to click the "Close all applications and Install" button. That started shutting down all my OSX apps, but it had a problem doing so, so I helped it out and shut them down so it could proceed.

FYI, I can also print to a post script file using MacWrite on my 128K Mac, transfer the file directly into Snow Leopard using MacTerminal and open it with Preview, perfectly formatted as it appeared on the 128K, then save as a PDF.

Cool to know also! My G5 OS9 install doesn't have much installed other than the default apps. The PDF looks just like the Simpletext version.. both low res.

Thanks for the information!
