I'm one of those people that still have Classic Apps that they run. 
I'm curious do people actually have any apps that require Mac OS 9, 
yet aren't Carbon apps?  I personally find that most, if not all 
Classic apps I'm interested in will run on System 7.5.2 with one 
possible exception which might need Mac OS 8.

How on earth is printing handled in SheepShaver?  Is there a way to 
print out to a printer on the Host OS (specifically Adobe PDF).  If 
needed I can always install Adobe Acrobat 2.1 on SheepShaver as I 
have a license for that.  I'm trying to figure out how to get files 
created with ClarisDraw converted to PDF files.  Of course I could 
always open them in Intaglio and convert them to PDF that way, but 
that's a pain in the neck.

Actually I can't remember can System 7.5.2 save files you're trying 
to print as PostScript?  PostScript would work just fine for what I 
need.
