... John, I always hoped you would steal and improve it for Sheepshaver - and that I would shamelessly steal back your improvements. First, I've slightly...
I am still using Office version vX for Macintosh, which I believe is the last version of Office (& MS Word) before Microsoft switched to numbered versions. I...
... Word X cannot read WordPerfect files and cannot save in WP format. Three possible solutions: If "someone else" is computer-literate, and is using any...
I am in the process of attempting a major upgrade and am having a rotten time. I am trying to move from a G3, running OS 9.1 to a brand new Mac Pro, running I...
The newest macs do not support Classic. I found out the hard way on a legal application. Fortunately I kept my 7 year old G4! I had no problem moving all...
Can I ask an possibly silly question? If you only use WordPerfect, why move to a MacPro? Patrick...

There's an even sillier question. Why not use a MacPro with Sheepshaver, which is Classic Mac. Using Symlinks (see the archive), you can keep your WP files...
Well If you really, absolutely positively go to have Word perfect in the Intel Mac You can use the tools here to open WP. Or if you want to move on to modern...
... Are you asking whether you can print an A1-size page from WordPerfect for the Mac, running under Sheepshaver? If so, the answer is No. If you're asking...
... Interesting. If the printing device can handle A1, where is the limitation? WP/Mac (I believe other WP versions have no such limit) or Sheepshaver? - and...
... All versions of WordPerfect (including the current Windows versions) have a page size limit of 27.3 inches. As Roy Lewis explained in a recent post on a...
... Actually, Mac WP uses the Quickdraw coordinate system (72 dpi), not the WP Windows system (1200 dpi). It is therefore, theoretically, possible to print to...
... You're right, and I was completely wrong. Fascinating! Thanks for that - I'd never guessed that the Mac version used a different system of measurements. ...
... Nor would I; it would be interesting to see a discussion of why the apparent relative coarseness of MacOS/Quickdraw (72dpi vs 1200 dpi) works so well. Are...
... It is because Mac WP uses a 32 bit fixed point number instead of a 16 bit integer number. Effectively giving it a resolution of about 720,000 dpi. ...
... I've now updated my BasiliskII-WPMac setup to include a "Plotter-sized" virtual printer driver that can create PDF files in A1 or any other conceivable...
I learned a long time ago that, when someone says, "Forgive me for asking...," or "This may be a silly question…," or "This might be a stupid question...,"...
... What I think you are trying to tell us are these four facts: 1. You have a G3 Mac running OS 9, with WordPerfect running on it. 2. You have a G4 Mac...
If you can ZIP or STUFFIT the folder on the G3, that can also make it thru the FAT file system... Expand it when you put it on your G4. Patrick ... [Non-text...
I want to use the G4 as an intermediate step for several reasons. One of them is that we have it, no money is wasted to use it. I want to get WordPerfect...
Instead of using the flash drive with its MS-DOS formatting, transfer the file(s) using Appletalk. This will preserve the resource fork which I believe is...
... Insert the flash drive in the G3 machine. Select (highlight) its icon on the desktop. On the top-line menu, choose Special, Erase Disk, and follow the...

Dear Michael This does not respond to your questions, but Sheepshaver on the intel machine will feel a lot more like the G3 than running Classic under OS X on...

I finally got WordPerfect from the G3 onto the G4, it works beautifully, it prints, templates are fine, I can open all my files. And for fun I turned the...
