Hi all, I have a 2018 Mac Mini (non-M1). Runs WP Mac App fine on OS Catalina. But will upgrading to OS Big Sur prevent WP Mac App from running even though It is not an M1 Mac? Thanks, Joe

I just got myself a nice shiny new M1 Mac. I tried WPMacApp and it appears to be working from a cursory perspective however obviously I'd like to M1 it up. Does anyone else have a M1 Mac to try it? Ca

Late to the parade as usual, I have only recently gotten a retina display, and noticed that OS 9 with Sheepshaver didn't look as nice. I did a Get Info on ShSh in macOS and saw a switch to open the ap

This is a quick report to confirm that the WPMacApp (current version) seems to work perfectly under macOS Big Sur. You will need to respond to messages asking you to grant permissions to it when you f

Hi, everybody. I rarely post any more because WP generally "just works," in SS, even on my new Dell — the new Macs just don't offer the value or the reliability I need now :-( In all these years of us

Perhaps it’s just the fussiness that comes with dotage, but I’m finding I like the active window, in whatever program I’m working in, to be in the center of the screen. WP opens windows at the left si

I've updated the WPMacApp to use the latest bug-fix code by the programmer who maintains the SheepShaver emulator. I've also slightly revised the application so that it will continue to run smoothly i

IIRC, I could set the WPMacApp to full screen. I've just used the above method It does increase the WPMac App Window. I just have to look at my screen size ad set accordingly. Thanks for keeping this

Sorry to bother, but I'm unable to resize the document window(s) in the current WPMac App. Used to work fine IIRC. Seems I've forgotten how to resize the windows in WPMacAPP. Thanks for any help! Joe

John’s Sheepshaver Disk 2.2 is a comprehensive and finely-tuned volume with a well-thought-out selection of programs and utilities. It will run fine with WPMacApp, Sheepshaver-WP, or any other Sheepsh

I had not planned further updates to this package for SheepShaver and WordPerfect, but the world is going to 64-bit (which is apparently not the same as hell in a handbasket, although we seem to be he

A while ago I posted Script Debugger 1, the best Applescript editor in its first version for Mac OS 9. A really nice program. It comes with a Scheduler utility which, completely separate from Applescr

If you use SheepShaver-WP, the installer has placed a small app in your Applications folder, "SheepShaver-WP", which is what you normally use to start SheepShaver. Now that most current versions of th

A printing problem has come up for me and I wondered if anyone had a suggestion. My Sheepshaver package’s printing is modeled on Edward's: a postscript file is generated and put in the WPMacAppData fo

If you have more than a passing interest in Applescript, you don't want to use the script editor that comes with the OS -- it's just too limited. The best third-party script editor is Script Debugger.

Edward Mendelson, who's good at this, found the manual for Script Debugger 1, and it's now posted here, in the Applescript Resources folder of the Files section. Compared to a whole lot else I've seen
