Copying from virtual to actual

EvilTony · Post by **EvilTony** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 9:59 am

I'm running HyperCard on a Mini vMac (OS 7.0.1) on a MacBook with OS 10.6.6

I do a lot of text manipulation with it. It generates a lot of output. At present, to export any output from the virtual machine I have save it as a text file, quit the virtual machine and then open the disk image and take the text file from there.

Is there a way to take text from the virtual machine to the actual in an easier fashion, preferably without shutting down the virtual?

Maybe you would like to try this:
ExportFl - exports files from Mini vMac
ImportFl - imports files into Mini vMac
from here http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/extras/index.html
These apps should make the "Open Disk Image" menu load and save files.
I am preferring the solution with images you already posted above.
If you are using a non System "Transport" image, there should be no need to shut down MiniVmac,
just eject your Transport image with MiniVmac , mount it with the host and vice versa.

Thank you.

This is just what I was looking for.
