Thanks very much. I forgot about this, since both users are unix admins. Looking at ls -alR Classic.app, I saw that a few chmod g+w changes were needed, and all is well now.
I appreciate the work that has been done to create Chubby Bunny. I have old classic Macs and all their licensed software, etc., so I could install Sheepshaver directly, but the Chubby Bunny package certainly saves a lot of time which can then be devoted to moving old os9 apps over. I have done this, and I can report that the abandoned Canvas 7 appears to work, also Claris Resolve and HS Tools/Wingz. So I can access some of my old data files on a new Mac at last.
CPU load -- this is purely a Sheepshaver phenomenon, I suppose: Classic.app running, with no internal activity, takes about 50 percent of total CPU resources steadily, seen from Activity Monitor lists/graphs (Mac mini 2010, dual core 2.66Ghz).
