Thanks to Helix Energy and all of the IIgs emulator authors for their efforts
and for providing the updated information, emulator archives and all other
related items that follows.

22/9/99: Bernie ][ the Rescue 2.5 has been released! The new version supports
better integration between GS/OS and the MacOS, i.e. you can now simply drag and
drop files between the Mac and IIgs desktops. More importantly for gamers
however, is that sound has been improved - no more low volume problems. Testing
the new version myself, I have to report that it's absolute aural bliss now.
There doesn't appear to be any incompatibility fixes for games however, apart
from the exception that Mean 18 now takes key input every fourth second or so,
but the sound improvement has been worth waiting for.

On the same day that the new version of Bernie has been released, Mac users were
doubly blessed. A new version of XGS, for PowerPC and 68k Macs has been
released. The new version is now called iGS, the 'i' standing for 'improved'.
The program is a lot easier to use now, not to mention that it's useable at all;
previous versions of XGS failed to run with MacOS 8.5 or higher. Get it from
Michael Bytnar's XGS page.

GS WorldView Editor Note: On 11/29 and 11/30 I had no problems accessing the
links listed below.

and

http://216.233.6.163/~justmike/XGS-Mac/

Today -- 12/1/99 IÕm unable to access either of the above links. So, IÕm glad I
did download the XGS PowerPC and 68k Macs iGS emulators most current version
archive on 11/29/99 and 11/30/99. I guess I could always arrange to make them
available to anybody that wants them and is also unable to access Michael
Bytnar's XGS page, to download the archives. If that seems like an option youÕd
like to use to obtain the archives, just email me and IÕll try to arrange to get
them to you somehow.


Read all of the other new and informative text files in this folder -- related
to the newly released XGS for windows and the URLÕs for downloading that
archive, joining the mailing list for news, updates and other info related to
it.
