OK, me and my big mouth. I have to take back the hint about using the new WDEF
that is part of the Wordscript 2 package of System 7.1. The engineer
responsible promised us that it was OK for developers to use it. However this
is/was not formal, and instead of causing possible problems we at DTS agreed
that is better to now tell developers to use this WDEF.
 
Instead you need to use the old trick, i.e. use or modify the WDEF that is
available in the MacApp 3.0.1 distribution. And if someone wants to rewrite the
WDEF, and gets into trouble -- and is a partner -- contact DTS and we will sort
out the issues.
 
Cheers,
Kent
PS: Another hint, I've seen a lot of alternate WDEFs, in C, in both the
developer CD and the MacHack-92 CD. It makes actually sense to rewrite WDEFs in
C, because the future PowerPC port is far more easy if you have code in C.
