I've never seen anything like that before, so my guess is a corrupted
document. Try Save As, retaining Text, Attributes and Graphics. If
the problem persists, Save As again retaining Text and Attributes.
Then try saving just text (this tip is in Tips & Macros). When I have
something like this, though, I often just save as text, and then
paste the graphics in and assign styles again.

By JOHN MARKOFF

SAN FRANCISCO — Signs of a consumer slowdown abound in the
United States, but Apple customers appear not to have
noticed.

Buoyed by unusually strong Macintosh sales, the company
grew notably faster than the rest of the computer market
worldwide in the first three months of the year. Revenue
increased 43 percent from the same period a year ago, the
company reported. Steven P. Jobs, Apple's chief executive,
characterized the quarter as the strongest in Apple's
history.

He attributed the growth to higher traffic in the company's
181 stores in the United States. The company reported that
it had 33.7 million visitors to its stores in the United
States, up 57 percent from the same quarter a year ago. Mr.
Jobs said that belied the gloom that was being expressed
about the American economy.

"We're not economists, so we don't have any more insight
than everyone else, but there were sure a lot of people in
our stores last quarter," Mr. Jobs said in an
interview.

Despite new products like the iPhone, variations of the
iPod and the Apple TV set-top box, this was a Macintosh
quarter. Apple shipped 2.3 million Mac computers in the
quarter, 51 percent more than in the quarter a year ago.
Revenue on those computers increased 54 percent.

But it also said it sold 10.6 million iPods during the
quarter, flat with the year-ago quarter. Analysts said iPod
sales were within their expectations and that it was a sign
that the product category was maturing,

"The big question was, would Apple really feel the pinch
from a weakening U.S. consumer? And the somewhat
unequivocal answer was, no, not yet," said A. M. Saggonaghi
Jr., a senior analyst at Bernstein Research

Apple said that net income in its second quarter rose 36
percent from the year-ago quarter, to $1.05 billion or
$1.16 a share, on revenue of $7.51 billion.

The results far exceeded the expectations of Wall Street
analysts. They had expected $1.07 cents a share and revenue
of $6.96 billion, according to a survey of analysts by
Bloomberg.The company, based in Cupertino, Calif., also
forecast strong sales in the coming months. Peter
Oppenheimer, Apple's chief financial officer, said the
company expected third-quarter revenue of about $7.2
billion and earnings of about $1 a share.

Apple's stock has declined 17.9 percent since the beginning
of January when it peaked near $200 a share. After drifting
below $120 a share, the stock has begun to recover since
March. Shares on Wednesday closed up, rising $2.69 to
$162.89, but then declined 26 cents, to $162.63 in
after-hours trading over concerns that Apple's profit
margins were weaker than analysts expected.

If there is a weak spot in the company's battle plan, it
may be the iPhone smartphone, which has had stellar sales
in the United States, but has showed weakness in Europe.
Apple said it sold 1.7 million iPhones for the quarter. "In
my mind iPhone sales were soft," said Charles Wolf, a
financial analyst at Needham & Company. "It's a question of
the distribution model and of the price. The price clearly
has to come down."

Apple's executives said the sales of iPhones exceeded
internal company projections during the quarter.

Analysts and the industry are expecting Apple to introduce
a higher performing version of the iPhone within the next
two months, made for faster 3G data-oriented cellular
networks. Mr. Jobs is under pressure to meet his 10 million
iPhone sales forecast by the end of 2008. To meet that goal
the company needs a second-generation iPhone, and it may
also need to push the price of the existing $399 iPhone
down significantly or introduce a stripped-down
model.

Analysts have said that as the second quarter progressed,
demand for Apple's iPhone increased and that the computer
maker was unable to keep up with demand. The supply issue
could have been affected by the limited availability of
16-gigabyte flash memory chips, Mr. Wolf
speculated.

He said that the more interesting story for the quarter may
be the gains that Apple is making in PC market share,
predominantly in the laptop computer segment.

International Data Corporation's survey this month showed
Apple with a 6 percent share of the American market in the
first quarter, compared with 4.9 percent a year ago.
Apple's strong Macintosh growth comes as Microsoft
struggles with its Windows Vista operating system, which
was released last year to largely critical reviews. "I
think people are really noticing the difference between Mac
OS X and Windows to a greater degree than ever before," Mr.
Jobs said. "The more people understand that there is an
alternative, the more people are choosing a Mac."

On Wednesday, Apple confirmed that it had acquired PA Semi,
a Silicon Valley chip company with expertise in low-power
microprocessors, an essential technology for future
iPhones. Forbes.com first reported the acquisition, which
it said was for $278 million in cash. Neither company
disclosed the amount of the deal.

The chip maker had originally hoped to supply Apple with
chips intended for a microprocessor used in earlier
Macintosh computers and by I.B.M. However, when Apple began
using Intel microprocessors for the Macintosh, PA Semi was
left without a major customer.

The decision to buy PA Semi is likely to be a blow to
Intel, which recently introduced a new low-power chip
called Atom.

For the benefit of the less technically inclined, Tom is saying that
this SheepShaver build was NOT released by the official SheepShaver
team, but is a modified version created by "kelvin31415" on 11 April
2008 to fix the bugs described above.  He says his modification is
based on the official SheepShaver source code of March 2008.

Warning:  The modified version referenced above was compiled by
"kelvin31415" for Intel Macs only.  It will not run on PPC Macs.

Also, "kelvin31415" warns that he tested it only in Tiger.  (I just
started using it on Leopard.  OK so far.  Thanks, Tom!)

I'd like to warn against using the Startup Disk control panel within
SheepShaver.  When I opened it and then clicked on the SheepShaver
disk icon, it crashed SS.  (Probably because OS 7.5 was trying to
save the startup disk preference to a non-existent PRAM.)  My SS
startup volume then became corrupted.

I think the safest approach is to move this control panel to the
"Control Panels (Disabled)" folder, or else delete it altogether.

John (Rethorst), you might consider incorporating this change the
next time you upload a revised SS installation package.

That I will do, as noted here some time after the last release. It
was my error to include the control panel in the last, and in the
original, release.

MBP, OS 10.5.2, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB SDRAM. I desperately
need to do my billing, which only runs on SheepShaver.

SheepShaver has been installed and has been working fine for over 6
months. Yesterday, went to open it and it hangs at the point where
the SheepShaver icon and the word "Window" are in the Apple Menubar.

Tried restoring back-ups from days before any problems had shown up
from TimeMachine . Restarted SheepShaver with same result.

Physically disconnected every external drive [each of which has
backups of SheepShaver], and restarted. Removed from my HD everything
about which I know that involves SheepShaver [SheepShaver HD,
SheepShaver application, SheepShaver preferences, Basiliskll
keycodes, Mac OS ROM, Print&PDF Folder Items.scpt,
WordPerfect.mdimporter, and any alias].

Emptied trash and restarted. Downloaded SS-WP 1.1 distribution folder
[beautiful job - Thank you John!!] Printed out the Install ReadMe.
Religiously followed every step.

After the restart, tried to open SheepShaver application. Got the
expanding icon and then the exact same hard freeze at the point when
the Apple Menubar has the SheepShaver icon and the word "Window" [I
know I'm being redundant - I figure too much information can be
edited out].

Anyway, I'm at a total loss. Please help as soon as possible!

Thank you, everyone!!

George,

looks to me as if you have a problem with your Mac OS, rather than
with SS. I would suggest running the Disk Utility (preferably from the
Mac OS installer CD) or any other disk curing tool, and see if this
gives any difference.

hope this helps,
Dirk

I wonder if the RAM size of the Sheepshaver virtual Mac has become too
small?

George:

I would suggest setting up a new user account, installing SS-WP, and
seeing if that fixes your problems.

(1) Go to Accounts in System Preferences and set up the new user,
say, "Perry Mason." His computer never went down.

(2) Before switching to Perry Mason, copy SS-WPx.zip and your user
files (billing and such) to a folder outside of your regular user
account. OS X will prevent you from accessing your old account while
you use another account!

(3) Log out of your old identity now and log in as "Perry Mason".
UnZIP and install SS-WP. See if it works. Do your billing.

(4) Please tell me if this worked. It worked for me when Apple Mail
went down for me and wouldn't send mail. I used my other identity
and went back to work e-mailing people.

(5) The other advice to repair your permissions is also excellent
advice.

Thanks, Dirk. By this point, I've tried pretty much everything I can think of:
	 In addition to simply reparing Permissions, I ran, in the following order:
	 Onyx
	 Disk Utilities
	 Disk Warrior
	 TechTool Pro

Finally, I reinstalled the system, using Archive and Install. That
didn't work either. I'm thinking that this weekend I'll have to do a
clean install and reload the computer.

Any other thoughts would be most welcome!

Thanks for the response.

I have RAM set at 512 MB. That's twice the recommendation in the
installation PDF. I increased it to 1024, with the same result.

Hey John.  I too have been using Wordperfect for as long as I can remember.
I bought my first Macbook in January '08 and love it.  But I am unable to
open any of my WP documents.  I tried downloading SheepShaver and it appears
on the desktop, but when I click on the icon nothing much happens.  I am
running Mac OS X version 10.5.2.  Can you offer any help?

That I will do, as noted here some time after the last release. It
was my error to include the control panel in the last, and in the

Thanks extra much! That work around worked! ;-) I'm a happy camper.

Sorry for this long post, but there's still a problem, and I wanted
to get as much information down as possible. Problem: the 500 MB dmg
that is included in the WP download is too small. I need to have
about 1.5 GB [the size of the dmg that I have been using]. I was able
to take the 500 MB dmg and, with Disk Utility, expand the image.
However, when I opened the dmg file, the SheepShaver file that
mounted was still only 500MB.

Said another way: when I got Info on the closed dmg that I had
expanded, it showed that it was 1.5GB. When I double-clicked on that
dmg file, it opened and mounted "SheepShaver". However, when I got
Info on the mounted "SheepShave" file, it was still only 500MB. When
I opened "SheepShaver", it would not take accept stuff that I wanted
to move in because there was not enough room.

When I opened Disk Utility with "SheepShaver" mounted, it would not
allow me to expand the 500 MB "SheepShaver" image.

I created a larger dmg, but when I copied over the contents of the
500 MB to the dmg that I created, SheepShaver couldn't find a System
Folder. I force quit SheepShaver and inserted my OS 8.5 Install Disk.
Upon restart with the larger dmg, it started up with the 8.5 Install
Disk just fine, but the installation of OS 8.5 failed. It said it
failed because it couldn't update and then closed down.

Further thoughts from anyone?

Hi. I finally got SheepShaver working again. I don't know how to
enlarge the "SheepShaver volume.dmg" that John has packaged with the
SS-WP 1.1 distribution folder, so I reused my former SheepShaver HD.

Everything seems to be working okay, except that I no longer have
access to the OS X side through volume that was always called UNIX on
the SheepShaver desktop. Now, when I want to get anything off of
SheepShaver, I have to shut everything down and open the disk image.

I have the SheepShaver GUI, but don't know if that is what I need or,
if it is, how to use it.

Question: How can I get UNIX back onto the SheepShaver desktop or,
alternatively, how do I get the SheepShaver volume.dmg to be larger.
As noted in an ealier post, I tried using Disk Utility, but that,
while it made the HD larger, did not increase the size of the
SheepShaver volume itself. That is, I could make the dmg file 1.5GB,
but the SheepShaver HD volume stayed at 500MB.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi, I encountered a problem with the UNIX hard disk icon when I
originally set up SS. Here's how I solved it.

1. I set up a new empty folder in my /Users/yourname/Documents folder.
Call it whatever you want, as long as it's less than 32 characters.
I'll call it Blank Folder  as an example

2. In Sheepshaver GUI, I set up the path to the UNIX root as "/Users/
yourname/Documents/Blank Folder"  Don't include the quotes!

3. John R, the instructions in the PDF skimp on setting up the UNIX
root, as the screenshot shows only a partial path to the nested folder.

Hi,

Thanks to Tom Briant's simple solution, toggling between the two OS
presents no more problems, at least not on my new MacBook.
	 The work done by Christian Bauer, Gwenolé Beauchesne and John
Rethorst deserves the heartfelt thanks of the academic community of
philologists (the dinosaurs that see no point in dissociating
linguistics from literary studies). In the late 1980's and early
90's, before academic management all over the world was lured into
cutting the Mac, much valuable software was developed for Mac OS 7.5
through 9.1, to name but two examples: Peter Robinson's (Oxford U)
"Collate" and Evan Antworth's (Summer Institute of Linguistics)
"Conc". None of that software was updated to OS X, perhaps because
academic management had found new gratification in cutting the
philology. Simple means of systematically comparing large numbers of
manuscripts of the same text and recording their variation (Collate)
or making concordances and indexes of forms of texts (Conc) in any
language and any script seemed to be doomed.
	 NB. WordPerfect never got a foothold in philology (so maybe I better
leave this discussion group); NisusWriter was the preferred tool of
the trade. That, too, works well under SheepShaver, but most of us
have translated their heritage files into Micros**tWord by now.

Cheers! William Veder

I am not very computer savvy, so I find myself in a predicament.

I am assisting my professor finalize a book, the only problem is
that the publishing house insists upon using WordPerfect 9.0 or
later.  I only use an Intel-based MacBook Pro, run on Mac OS X.
Does this sheepshaver program include or run this version of
WordPerfect 9.0?  If not, are there any other programs that
could do this for a mac?  Any help or insight would be most
appreciated.

Bauer's and Beauchesne's work is orders of magnitude beyond
anything I've done, but thank you anyway.

WordPerfect has a very powerful macro language (900 commands
and objects) and a full Applescript object model, so add-on programs
can be written for WP that will do quite a bit. Give me an
operational description of what you need, and I'll see what I can do.

John R.

1. Sheepshaver only runs Wordperfect 3.x for the Mac, a
Classic Mac OS program.

2. If you want to run WordPerfect 9.0 on up, you'll need
to install a program such as Parallels or VM Fusion to
create a virtual Windows machine on your Mac AND a
copy of Windows XP or Vista as the operating system.
Then you can install WordPerfect 9.0 to 12.x

3. I run WordPerfect 11 on my MacBook using Parallels
and Windows XP. Works just fine.

4. I have to tell you that Crossover Office, which will run
some Windows programs without installing the Wndows
operating system, DOES NOT WORK WITH WORDPERFECT for
Windows. I know, I've tried it with WP Office 2000 and
Word Perfect Office 11. No luck.

5. You'll need to have at least 2 GB of memory, 1 Gb for
OS X  and 1 Gb for Windows XP. Both are memory hungry

6. For more information, I would get to a bookstore and
buy the June 2008 issue of MacWorld, which features an
article "Best of Both Worlds" about the options for running
Windows on a Mac.

Sheepshaver is not the easiest solution. You'll need Parallels or VM
Fusionware so that you can run Windows and WP 9 or higher. WP for Mac
in Sheepshaver can save as WP Win 8, but not 9, although the file
format is identical.

WordPerfect 9.0 or later are windows (PC)  versions, not
Mac versions.  (The latest Mac version was 3.5 ages ago.)

To run WP 9.0 or later, you need to buy Windows emulator
software, such as Parallels or BootCamp, so that your Mac
will be able to run Windows software.

Another option is to do the editing in a Mac program such
as Word and then use software such as MacLink to convert
it to Windows WordPerfect, but if there's tricky formatting, it
might get messed up.

Dear John,

Thanks to you and the others, both Collate and Conc have a new lease
on life. No need to worry about programming. Incidentally, Altsys
Fontographer 4.1, which is rather capricious under OS 9.2.2, seems to
work fine under SS.

Thanks again: William

I've learned from experience you must install a
partition program.  I used Parallels, and am happy
with it.  Then you must install Windows.  I tried
installing Windows 2000, a very stable version of
Windows, because Parallels said it was supported.  I
never got  a full screen, nor was I able to install or
run software.  So I installed Windows XP, and
everything works fine.

Because one part of your Mac now is a Windows virtual
machine, you  must also install antivirus and
anti-spyware programs - AdAware and AVG Antivirus are
both free software programs, and I've had few problems
with either of them.

Now you can install WordPerfect.  I've done so, plus a
few other programs I need that don't have Mac
versions, and they run pretty well.  You will, of
course, have the usual bug problems with Windows
itself, which is why I bought a Mac in the first
place, but we can hope that the market will comprehend
the number of Windows users running to Mac and start
to offer us their programs in Mac versions.  Hope this
helps!  Blessings - Diane

Colleagues in Veliko Turnovo (Bulgaria) and Moscow (Russia) ask,
whether John R's compiled version of SheepShaver is installable
as such on Windows machines, or whether it requires
adaptation.

You will need to run Windows on your Mac and you will need to
run WordPerfect for Windows in the copy of Windows that you
run on your Mac. There are various ways to do this. A good survey
is here:

http://www.macwindows.com/winintelmac.html

SheepShaver has absolutely nothing to do with any of this, and
you will not find any relevant information in this group. Web
searches on "Windows on Mac" or similar terms will produce
the information you need.

It is not, Mac OSX only. SheepShaver is available for Windows,
though.
