I have been happy with OS 10.4 for some time. Unfortunately, I now have to run software that requires OS 10.5. Recently installed 10.5.8 and have obviously...

Once you lose Classic, WP will only run under Sheepshaver. The integration that John and Ed have managed, though, makes the process seamless once installed. ...
Is it possible that the version of sheepshaver you have is Intel only? You can tell by doing "get info" on the sheepshaver application file. It probably says...
I'm afraid that I updated the program without updating the documentation. It seems that it now runs only under Intel. Later today I'll try to post a link to an...
I had forgotten that I had already posted a version that I believe should work on PowerPC machines. It's not quite as up-to-date as the current version, but I...
Haven't worked with it long. But it seems to work fine. HUGE thanks. Now I've got to explore the subtle ways in which it deals with files and drives. And...
... I can make available an old G4/450 via LogMeIn or somesuch, if it'll help (my home connection is U-Verse, 6Mbps/1Mbps, so, not the fastest, but should be...
Thanks for that report. I've updated my site at: http://wpdos.org/mac-intel.html so that it now has inks to both the version for 10.5 (PPC and Intel) and the...
Gives WordPerfect a text glossary, supporting any number of entries with each containing any amount of text. This version is a complete rewrite, and is...
Don't know how this happened but it takes only a minute to fix. Open the Sheepshaver system folder. You'll see an alias named "Clipboard". Delete that, and...
I've now updated these applications so that they will run under OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion just as they did under earlier versions. The apps are "code signed" so...
I have an Apple Developer Account, so - theoretically, at least - I was able to code sign applications, but couldn't figure out how to make it work with...
Have any of the experts here been able to build the libwpd conversion software (specifically wpd2html) from the current source, under Mountain Lion? When I...
... I have not, and without seeing the error messages, it's hard to say what might be going on, but typically when updating to a new major OS version, you need...
Credit where credit is due: This commercial application (based on the libwpd conversion software) has been updated and is now far more useful than before. It...

Forgot to say that part of the reason for this update is that version 2.1.1 wasn't playing well with the current Sheepshaver installs and OtherMenu or OSA...
Running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on an Intel Mini, using SS2.3 with OS9.0.4 -- my main complaint is that it runs Disk First Aid every time I open SS. Does SS2.4...
This isn't related to SS version; I have a startup script in Sheepshaver-WordPerfect Install that runs Disk First Aid (multiple times if another program...
The Mac App Store now has two commercial WP file viewers, the US$9.99 WordPerfect Viewer and now a US$19.99 WPD Wizard that does more or less the same thing....
Nicely done! and yet another example of freeware/shareware that's more accomplished than commercial competition. Added to the Files and the Links sections...
Thanks, John! The vendor of the WPD Wizard app got in touch to correct a mistake I made in my previous message. I said that the WPD Wizard uses an old version...
I've now posted a new version of this WP Viewer, with revised logic, so that it opens more files than it did before. Also, if you know the password of an...
The current version is slightly revised again, with slightly improved logic. Also, when the text of the WP file is displayed in TextEdit, the underlying file...
