This is vMac version .18c for Windows95.

Updates from .18a to .18b:

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

This is not in the Docs:

vMac may freeze and going to Restart under the vMac menu won't help. When this happens, you will have to exit vMac and go back into it, instead of going to Restart under the vMac menu. I've been told that this bug is also in other ports, but it does different things in the other ports (usually crashes them).

The rest of this stuff is in the docs:

New in vMac 0.18a

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
Readme file available in Plain Text (TXT) and Word 6 (DOC)

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, Pretzel, Option, and some other keys aren't supported yet.
It has trouble when 2MB or 4MB is set It seems to work fine when 1MB is set, but I've been getting reports that when 2MB or 4MB are set, vMac crashes or it freezes at Welcome to Macintosh. Other ports are having trouble with this too.
