Word Perfect for the Apple II and IIGS now FREEWARE!



I'd been trying to get Word Perfect for the Apple II and IIGS reclassified as
freeware (with authorization) for distribution via the Internet web sites and 
ftp sites for some time now. Well, final authorization has been confirmed by 
Corel Corp.

So, I've got some real great news for all of you wanting to get Word Perfect (any
version) for either the Apple II or IIGS. Today I received final and full 
authorization from Corel to allow any version of Word Perfect for the Apple II 
and/or IIGS to be freely distributed via the Internet from web sites and ftp sites. 
All versions for the Apple II and IIGS are now classified as copyrighted freeware 
and may be distributed for free via the Internet web sites and ftp sites - as 
archives without any restrictions.

Authorization was granted as noted above in this post by the Corel Order Center.
Anybody wishing varification of this can call them toll-free at: 1-800-772-6735
(then press 2).

I have both of the latest versions of Word Perfect for the Apple II and IIGS.
And, can certainly archive them and upload them myself - if need be, to Ground
for your access to download the archives. However, if some other kind-hearted
Apple II and IIGS user, that has the most current versions, whould consider
uploading them as archives to Ground, I'd be very grateful. If I don't see them
on Ground in the next few days, then I will archive and upload them myself. I
will also have them on the GS WorldView web site archived for your download
needs, within the next few days. 

The AOL - Apple II Archive transfer project is really consuming most of my time
now. That's the only reason I haven't already uploaded both the Apple II and IIGS
versions of Word Perfect to Ground myself - yet! In any event, the Ground Adm.
and Librarian have been advised of the programs status now as freeware and I have
another good friend that has agreed to upload the archives to Ground fairly soon.

Cheers,
Tom
