The same goes for any non HFS/HFS+ file systems.

Luckily, the NIT port of B2 has the "Unix" external file system icon on the desktop that allows files to be transferred into Basilisk from the NIT file system (like a SD card).

But the file needs to be compressed via *.sit, *.hqx, *.bin, *.cpt or some other archiving type on a Mac HFS/HFS+ file system to safely reside on or be transfered to a FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS file system. The same may go for Linux file systems like Ext2, etc. So your Mac must have a non HFS/HFS+ file system?

Once the archived Mac program has been moved into Basilisk II via the "Unix" icon on the desktop (which allows access to the external file system) it can be safely decompressed with a tool like the free Stuffit Expander (version 5.5 is the last that works on 68k Macs).

On Windows, a tool called HFVExplorer exists that can also transfer an archive file into the Basilisk II hard drive file (besides the "My Computer" icon external file system access which is just like "Unix" in other ports.)

Basilisk II must not be running when HFVExplorer is used. Use HFVExplorer to "open" the hard drive file and then use it's explorer like interface to move files into the hard drive file. HFVExplorer can also automatically decompress some archive files. This is lucky as Stuffit Expander itself must be automatically decompressed in order to use it to decompress files while running Basilisk II.

1. When you mount (open) a HFS volume with the HFVexplorer program, the disk should show up on the left hand side above your a: drive.
2. Navigate through the drives and directories on the left hand side with the right hand side displaying the contents of the Windows directory that you are in.
3. You should be able to drag and drop files from the right hand side onto your HDF disk volume on the left.
4. When you drop the file, HFVexplorer should ask you to select a copy mode. Use the "automatic, let the program decide" and click o.k.
5. If you then click on the HDF volume you should see the file copied over. There is no indication that it is being copied over except the light on your hard drive indicator will be busy.

I've been meaning to look at the xkbd format to see what additional keys can be used with it, like function keys and option. I imagine this has already been discussed and looked at by others on this forum.

We are missing a GUI configuration editor for the NIT port to make changes like this easily before launching Basilisk II.

BTW: The screen size itself can be changed "on-the-fly" inside the Mac OS using the monitors control panel using the latest Basilisk II JIT ports for Linux and I think Windows and Mac OS X too, but we don't have that capability in the NIT port at the moment.

Does anyone have a pref's file for me to checkout and compare with mine? I'm not really familiar with the intricacies of the preferences options even with most of the information on the homepage.

Thanks.
