This version is for OS 8.5 and above only. If you're using OS 8.0 or 8.1 you should use version 1.3.7 instead.
What does “Wapp pro” do?
"Wapp pro" is a window switcher. It displays a menu with every window opened in every application. You can now easily switch to any window (even in the hidden applications).
But that's not all : "Wapp pro" is more than a simple window switcher.
You can quit or hide an application with a single click (or with a single key press) without having to switch to it. You can also quit all the applications (except the ones you have chosen, like SpeedDoubler…) or hide them.
You can navigate trough the window list or through the application list with the keyboard.
You have three special ways of invoking the Wapp pro menu : click&hold in a window's title bar, click everywhere with modifiers keys, and click in hot spots...
Requirements
• Mac OS 8.5 or better

Shareware
"Wapp pro" is $5 shareware because I spent many hours to develop it. It's cheap and has many features. So please, if you decide to keep "Wapp pro", support shareware and pay the shareware fee. It enables you to use any future version of Wapp pro and it helps me develop more cool stuff.
Registering
You have several choices to register :
• either you register online at http://order.kagi.com/?Q7R&S for secure connection or http://order.kagi.com/?Q7R for non-secure connection.
• either you use the Register application that comes with the archive to use Kagi processing.
• either you send me $5 cash to my postal address. But this will be longer to process your registration.
Distribution
"Wapp pro" may be freely distributed via electronic bulletin boards, user groups and person to person. When distributed, all accompanying files are to be distributed too.
The latest version should be available on Info-Mac.
"Wapp pro" can be put on any other site or included on any CD-ROM, but please tell me if you do, so I can send updated versions when available.
