<p> AutQuit7 assists in “wrapping” an application for the Mac Plus
that requires System 7.0 or later, so that you can use it with
Mini vMac more as you would a native application for your
machine. For applications that can run in System 6 or earlier,
“<a href="../autoquit/index.html">AutoQuit</a>” may be preferred. </p>
<p> To use AutQuit7, copy the application to a new folder on your System 7
disk. Then make an alias of the application and move the alias
to the “Startup Items” folder within the
“System Folder”. Do not place the AutQuit7 application
directly in the “Startup Items” folder, because
items in the same folder as AutQuit7 modify its behavior,
and you don’t want to mix up these items with the
“Startup Items”. </p>
<p> In the simplest case of using AutQuit7, when there are no
other items in the folder containing it, then (after
the next restart) Mini vMac will
automatically quit when you shut down the emulated machine.
The way it works is that AutQuit7 is a background
only application, and on shut down the system tells
all background applications to quit. At this time AutQuit7
sets a flag within Mini vMac, which causes Mini vMac to quit
when the last disk is ejected. (This flag isn’t just always
set, because it is possible to eject all disks even
when not shutting down.) This behavior is basically
the same as using
“<a href="../ejctquit/index.html">EjctQuit</a>”,
but doesn’t require System 7.5. (It requires System 7 or
later.) Like EjctQuit, AutQuit7 will not quit
Mini vMac if the shift key is down. </p>
<p> If you make an alias of an application, and place
the alias in the same folder as AutQuit7, and
then rename the alias to “app”,
then AutQuit7 will launch the application at
startup. Furthermore, when this application
quits, the system notifies AutQuit7, and
AutQuit7 then tells the system to shut down.
(And then, as in the previous case, Mini vMac
quits.) </p>
<p> If you make an alias of a document, and place
the alias in the same folder as AutQuit7, and
then rename the alias to “doc”,
then AutQuit7 will tell the application
“app” to open the document
at launch. </p>
<p> If either “app” or “doc”
are an alias pointing onto a disk that is
not currently mounted, then AutQuit7 will
wait up to 15 seconds for the disk to mount.
However, the Macintosh system software can
mistakenly decide that an already mounted
disk is the disk it is looking for, particularly
if it has the same creation date as the
correct disk. So if you use one of the
“<a href="../blanks/index.html">Blanks</a>”
set of pre-made disk images, you may want
to erase the disk image before using it
(with the “Erase Disk...” command in the
Special menu of the Finder)
to make sure it has a unique creation date. </p>
<p> If you create a new folder in the same folder
as AutQuit7, and rename the new folder to
“cf”, then AutQuit7 will include
all the functionality of
“<a href="../clockfix/index.html">ClockFix</a>”.
This feature is included because there is some
minimum overhead to a background
