The (non)state of Mac emulation was Re: Word Perfect 5.1 documents?

   I'd
question the existence of *GOOD* 68k Mac emulators. 
 Mini vMac is coming along pretty well. They're starting to move to colour
 support, such as the Mac IIx, and it runs on everything from Mac OS 9 (!)
 to Windows 7, and, natch, Lion.

 I prefer it to Basilisk, personally. It should run Word 5.1 very nicely.

 I've never had good luck with SheepShaver, though. There is no good way
 to run Classic Power Mac apps in anything but Classic. 
I should be able to get away with no PPC support, the main apps I need to
run are all 68k.  What I do need is colour support.  I had SheepShaver
running about 4 years ago on my G5, but at the time I didn't *need* it, as
the main App I need ran under classic.  BTW, not having the ability to run
System 8 will actually be a plus, as I have some software I wrote that
prefers System 7.

While moving to Lion will cost me two apps, I can replace those.  I've not
done that as it will cost both time and money.
