New WordPerfect resource

Ive set up a WPMac group at Yahoo Groups, web address
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wordperfectmac/. Joining is free, easy, and your
email address can be hidden.

This is intended as another WP resource, with a comprehensive set of links to
e.g. Kevin McCoy's and Edward Mendelson's WP sites, plus the macros of Will
Porter, George Masche and myself, discussion of WP in various places, and other
stuff. Over 60 files and links so far.

I've also imported the 953 existing WP-L digests, which are then accessible via
Yahoo's search engine. 23 mb of discussion over 8 years is worthy of search
access. Using macros, I went through them and extracted the subject line of each
email in each digest, indexed to digest number. This index follows the digests
in the group's message area.

Likewise for the WP Mac News (over two years of monthly issues), in existing
format in the Links section, and searchable text in the Messages section. Ditto
the text from my WP book "Teach Yourself WordPerfect Mac 3.0", published by
Henry Holt in 1994 but still, surprisingly, useful.

Suggestions for additions welcome.

Its not intended as an addition to, much less a substitute for, the great
mailing list at www.r8ix.com/lists.html, and I want to thank Aron Spencer, the
moderator, again for his tireless support over the long haul.

Does this mean that WPerfect is available for use on Mac OSX?

The secret of managing is to keep the guys who hate you away from the guys who
are undecided.

It runs perfectly in Classic. I've added a couple of OS 9 control panels to
Classic's system folder to enhance it. Keys! (free, at Info-Mac) for example.
See wpdos.org for a free PDF printer driver for OS 9.
