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.

Version History
May, 1999: Version 1.6.2 for OS 8.5
The popup menu activation could have been sporadic with v1.6.1. Fixed
Selecting an item from the popup menu in a Navigation Services dialog, when the option "Popup Finder windows menu instead of Wapp pro's menu" was checked was opening the item in the Finder. Fixed.
May, 1999: Version 1.6.1 for OS 8.5
Under Mac OS 8.6 the feature to quit/hide applications didn't work with the keys Q/H, but only with modifier keys. Fixed.
In the Finder, when trying to activate the contextual menu by control-clicking in a window's titlebar, Wapp pro's menu was displayed instead. Fixed.
Should fix more problems with multiple screens systems.
May, 1999: Version 1.6 for OS 8.5
Corrected a strange bug that appeared on some machines : when the user clicked and stay clicked, it was changed in a single click. It was therfore impossible to drag windows, use some tools in drawing programs.....
To correct that problem I had to change the way to quit/hide applications with single keys. Now pressing H or Q will change the cursor, and the application will quit/hide when the item is selected in the menu (before, pressing the key was closing the menu directly).
In the Finder, when trying to activate the contextual menu by control-clicking in a window's titlebar, Wapp pro's menu was displayed instead. Fixed.
Fixed some problems (some, not all) with the activation of the popup menu at the screen edges with several monitors configuration.
April, 1999: Version 1.5.1 for OS 8.5
Some bugs fixed that could cause applications to quit when using Wapp pro's menu.
