This should be left in the folder and not moved out or this may cause problems. One will now see a folder containing the SaddleDrop program. Now clicking on these will expand them using the inbuilt StuffIt program. Drag these files on top of the Mac OS 9 desktop icon to add them to the emulated desktop. Now to get SaddleDrop (FractalAsmn works the same way) working on this, download the (stuffed and binhexed) files from here. When opened, one sees a Mac OS 9 desktop which can be used in the usual way. zip file for their operating system and expands it. This is a rather intimidating process to undertake from scratch.Įdward Mendelson, the Lionel Trilling Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University, has created packages for Mac OS X and Windows requiring no knowledge of SheepShaver. One can use the software SheepShaver to emulate Mac OS 9 on both Windows and Mac OS X. It is possible, but now difficult (and expensive), to find machines capable of running SaddleDrop. In 2005, Apple began a transition away from this architecture to Intel processors and as such SaddleDrop eventually became unusable on modern computers. SaddleDrop was written in a hardware specific way, using the PowerPC processors in Macintosh machines. It was used by many to study parameter space, and Lipa used it to formulate his monodromy conjectures. SaddleDrop is able to draw pictures of Hénon parameter space, and provided the first glimpses of this.
