WordPerfect/gs
version 2.x


WordPerfect/gs is a super-res desktop word processor for the Apple IIgs.
It includes a 115k-word Dictionary for spell-checking and a 10k-word
Thesaurus.


I. Requirements

WordPerfect/gs can run on a ROM-00 through ROM 3 Apple IIgs with 1MB
or more of Expansion Memory. It can run under Systems ranging from
ProDOS 16 v1.6 (System 3.2) through System 6.0.1.


II. Fix

This version of WordPerfect/gs includes a new STARTMAC file which
avoids a problem which could hang the program on startup.


III. Distributions

WordPerfect/gs is distributed as a 3-diskette set for systems without a hard
disk and in a 2-file set for systems which have a hard disk.


Diskettes-only Installation

WordPerfectGS_3DiskSet.zip has the set of three diskettes for systems without
a hard disk. After downloading, unzip using WinZIP or a similar utility to
obtain the three ShrinkIt whole-disk archives:

WORDPERFECT.SDK
WORDLISTS.SDK
UTILITIES.SDK

On your IIgs, use GS ShrinkIt to copy/convert each .sdk file to a 3.5" diskette:

WORDPERFECT- boots ProDOS 16 v1.6 (System 3.2) and runs the program
WORD.LISTS- non-bootable; has the Dictionary and Thesaurus files
UTILITIES- bootable; has assorted util programs

Note: Word Perfect can be run from diskettes under later versions of IIgs
System-- e.g. System 5.0.4 and System 6.0.1.


Hard Disk Installation

WordPerfectGS_forHardDisk.zip is a 2-file set for systems which have a hard
disk.  After downloading, unzip using WinZIP or a similar utility to obtain the
ShrinkIt .shk file archive and the .sdk whole-disk archive:

WPgsHdDisk.shk
UTILITIES.SDK

On your IIgs, use GS ShrinkIt to extract the set of files to a hard disk volume's
main directory. For example, if a hard disk volume is named "Apple1", extract
WPgsHdDisk.shk to Apple1. The files will arrive in a folder named "WP". 

Use GS ShrinkIt to copy/convert UTILITIES.SDK to a 3.5" diskette. (You may
never have any reason to run a UTILITIES program.)  Programs on the disk
can be moved to a folder on hard disk or run from diskette under System 6.0.1.

To run WordPerfect/gs, open the WP/ folder and double click on WP.SYS16.
