<p> AutoQuit assists in 'wrapping' an application for the Mac Plus,
so that you can use it with Mini vMac more as you would a
native application for your machine.
AutoQuit will work with all systems prior to
System 7, when not using MultiFinder. For applications
that require System 7, you can use
<a href="../autquit7/index.html">AutQuit7</a>. </p>
<p> <b>Discussion and Example</b> </p>
<p> The basic way to use Mini vMac is to open a boot disk image,
which brings up the Finder. From there you can launch an
application, such as the game 'Continuum'. When you're done,
you quit from 'Continuum'. This brings you back to the Finder,
where you can choose the 'Shut Down' command, and then you
can safely quit Mini vMac. </p>
<p> You can save one step if you prepare a boot disk image that
contains 'Continuum', and set the 'Start Up' application to
the game. Now booting from this disk image will launch
the program 'Continuum' directly, skipping the Finder. </p>
<p> But when you quit from 'Continuum', you still end up back in
the Finder, where you have to 'Shut Down' and quit Mini vMac. </p>
<p> You can save these extra steps by replacing the Finder on the
boot disk image with the file 'AutoQuit'.
Now quitting from 'Continuum' will automatically 'Shut Down'
and quit Mini vMac. </p>
<p> AutoQuit is just a simple program that immediately shuts down
a Macintosh, and, when running inside Mini vMac,
tells Mini vMac to quit. You use it by setting
an application to be the Start Up application of a
bootable disk, and then replacing the Finder with
AutoQuit, so that AutoQuit is run when the application
quits. In more detail: </p>
<p> <b>Instructions</b> </p>
<p> * Download and unzip AutoQuit, to get the AutoQuit disk
image. </p>
<p> * Create a bootable system disk image containing System 6.0.8
or earlier. </p>
<p> * Install an application on this disk image, and verify that
it works properly. </p>
<p> * In the Finder, select the icon of the application,
and choose the "Set Startup..." command from the Special menu. </p>
<p> * Boot from a different disk image. </p>
<p> * Mount the original disk image with the application, and open the System Folder
on it. </p>
<p> * Drag the file 'Finder' into the Trash. </p>
<p> * Choose 'Empty Trash' from the Special menu. </p>
<p> * Mount the AutoQuit disk image, and copy the file 'AutoQuit'
into the System Folder. </p>
<p> * Rename the copy of 'AutoQuit' to 'Finder'. </p>
<p> * Close the System Folder. </p>
<p> * Choose 'Shut Down' from the Special menu. </p>
<p> <b>More details</b> </p>
<p> If the shift key is held down, AutoQuit will shut down
the emulated machine, but won't quit from Mini vMac.
This makes it a bit easier to immediately use another
disk image. </p>
<p> AutoQuit will check to make sure that it is running
inside of Mini vMac before trying to make Mini vMac
quit. This means it is safe to use in other emulators.
So you can prepare a disk image with a wrapped
application for Mini vMac, and still use it with
another emulator. </p>
<p> It is also safe to use it on a real machine. This
is useful with
