Re: Wanted: Bev's Free Patcher for AppleWorks

Stavros:

Here are a couple of links in the Web Archive that should contain pertinent
info:


Info on patching AW and ProSel for Y2K:

Info on Bev's Free Patcher v7.0.

FWIW, if the Lost Classics Project (or anyone else for that matter) ever
persuades Bev to release the Texas II stuff under Creative Commons or
something similar, someone very close to me has a complete set of her stuff
already imaged. 

She has in the past made it very clear that, without her explicit
permission, her works are to remain 'unobtanium,' which is unfortanate,
because she produced excellent AppleWorks materials. I refer to them
regularly, in fact.

You may try to write to her. I believe she lives in Missouri now.
