Spellcheckers

PAPYRUS can work with any
Word Services compatible spellchecking application, such as the very inexpensive SpellswellTM from Working Software, or the free Excalibur (Verson 2.5.2 or newer).



Internet Config

Internet Config is free, public domain software (from some generous programmers). If you include a URL in a PAPYRUS reference, then PAPYRUS can use Internet Config to automatically launch your Web browser, ftp program, etc. to take you to that URL.

Mac OS 8.0 and newer already includes Internet Config.



Macintosh Drag & Drop

PAPYRUS makes extensive use of Macintosh Drag and Drop. If you are using System 7.1 Pro or System 7.5 or newer, then you already have this extension. If you are using an earlier version of the MacOS, then check in the Extensions folder of your System folder for an extension named "Macintosh Drag and Drop". If you don't find it on your computer, you can
download a copy here. Once you've downloaded the extension, drop it onto your closed System folder and it should end up in the Extensions folder. You will then have to re-start your Macintosh to activate drag and drop functions. ("Macintosh Drag and Drop" is a product of Apple Computer, Inc.)


Obtaining StuffIt Expander

If your Web browser doesn't handle this automatically, you will need
StuffIt Expander to decode the above ".hqx" files once you've downloaded them.
