Suggestions for the development of SheepShaver

Hi!

I'm new here and first of all: I'm not a developer! But I am an enthusiastic user of SheepShaver, although I do not use it that often.

I know that you are all opensource-developers and do this stuff in your spare time, and, hey, you're doing a great job.

However, I have a few ideas that you might wanna think about for future development:

If anyone of you has ever used the Atari ST emulator Steem Engine, you might have encountered the buttons that enable the user to pause the emulation. This is especially useful if you're not working with the emulator but want to quickly resume your work after doing something else on your computer. This will save RAM, etc.

What I also like about the Steem Engine is the fact that you can pause the emulator and quit the program and then resume your work at the point where you left the emulation. For instance, this function of the emulator could be integrated with the Hibernate Function of the emulated Mac OS.

I don't know if these ideas are realistic to be integrated into your work-in-progress. Hopefully I could inspire you folks!

Keep up the good work!
Best,
