Word Services Sdk

I am pleased to announce the release of the Word Services Software Development Kit version 1.0.6, as well as the Word Services World Wide Web homepage. The Word Services Apple Event Suite is a public protocol for Macintosh computers that allows any application to link to a speller or other text service as if it was a built-in menu item. It is probably the simplest useful thing that a developer can do with Apple Events. Word Services is free - no license fee or nondisclosure agreement is required to use it. You can download the protocol specification, and you can get the complete source code to Writeswell Jr., a simple Word Services word processor. You may redistribute Writeswell Jr. on your own product disks to open Read Me files. The latest SDK will compile using current versions of ThinkC and CodeWarrior with Universal Headers. You may choose to build 68k or Native PowerPC versions. All of the formatted word processor documents are provided as compact self-viewing Common Ground documents so that you do not need a particular word processor to view or print them. The Word Services Apple Event Suite home page provides: - documentation for the suite - links to the publishers of the client and server applications, - instructions for using Word Services in some of the applications, - the Word Services SDK.
