Spotlight for WordPerfect 2.0 (Mac OS X)

Works very well  

-- and a real convenience for Mac users who maintain a library of PC WordPerfect documents to facilitate working with PC users. Also helps maintain the strong viability of WP for the Mac, which works on Intel Macs and OS 10.5 using a free emulator such as SheepShaver or Basilisk. High-quality support for these and about a hundred other enhancements is available at the WPMac forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wordperfectmac/ . [alert admin]

All parts of this are, and have been, free  

>This is SheepShaver 2.3, the same version that has been available >for download for quite some time. This so-called "SheepShaver 1.0" >release is simply SheepShaver 2.3 Correct. This is a package and configuration of free software and so has a new version number. >that illegally includes copyrighted >software (Apple's MacOS ROM file) and WordPerfect. Both Apple's MacOS ROM and WordPerfect are free downloads, and have been for some time. >Please note, too, that the SheepShaver developer is not John >Rethorst. SheepShaver is maintained by Gwenole Beauchesne. This distribution specifically thanks Christian Bauer for writing SheepShaver and Gwenole Beauchesne for porting it to OSX. >And finally, you can not install Mac OS 9.2.2 on SheepShaver. >Because SheepShaver does not emulate the G4 MMU, it only >supports up to Mac OS 9.0.4. That's correct. [alert admin]

Overture 3.6.1 (Mac OS X)

Overture 4 released  

This program will do as much as Sibelius in notation, and is a full VST host. Of all the music programs I've used (Finale, Sibelius, Encore, Prof. Composer/Mosaic and a few more) this is the most intuitive and elegant. Easy and fun to use. [alert admin]

FruitMenu 3.4.3 (Mac OS X)

Recent Folders menu still doesn't work  

Very nice utility overall, with an excellent interface. I could sure use a Recent Folders menu, though, without going to the Finder. [alert admin]

FruitMenu 3.4.2 (Mac OS X)

Much improved!  

This utility has come a long way since the last time, a year or so ago, that I looked at it. 3.4.2 is excellent, and I just bought it. [alert admin]

XMenu 1.6 (Mac OS X)

Menus for recent apps/docs?  

This nice utility would be even better if it had menus for recent apps and docs. Two separate menus would be better since the stock recent menu (one menu for both apps and docs) is unwieldly if you have very many recent items. [alert admin]

Spotlight for WordPerfect 1.0 (Mac OS X)

Works like a charm …  

… making Spotlight available to the WP user base. Most of my long text documents are in WP and this is a real help. BTW the Importer was written by Gero Herrman, who also wrote WP DocCompare, a version-tracking utility which outperforms most such utilities. Gero's web site is at http://www.ils.uec.ac.jp/~herr/ [alert admin]

Contents, not just filenames  

Spotlight will find your WordPerfect documents without this plug-in, but it will not search within their contents (body text, footnotes and endnotes), or search for metadata, such as fonts and file size.

Trashed SideTrash  

Makes sense, assuming SideTrash is an Applescript using Finder scripting. The problem is if you think you're deleting an alias, you actually delete the original. A trash utility needs to do better than that.

Seems to Work  

Choosing a file in the Spotlight menu will open WP if it's not running, but will not start Classic.
