Word Juggler 2.7 anywhere?
I realized that the old thread I started (gee, it's been over 2 years!) on Word Juggler has a title that really doesn't apply any more. So, I figure I'd start a new thread.
I'm interested in tracking down a disk image of Word Juggler, but it has to be 2.7. Earlier version required a hardware modification to the Apple IIes to work.
Two years ago, none of the usual sources had it.
I'm on the verge of selling, recycling my old Apple II stuff, but I figured one last fling of playing around with it would be in order!
And WJ is the one the got away!
David, thanks for responding! Word Juggler required adding a physical hardware dongle to the IIe-- to the motherboard somewhere, perhaps between the keyboard connector and the motherboard.
It was a blunt copy protection mode. WJ also came with replacement keycaps with its special commands. The program doesn't work well or fully without the hardware--at least with the versions before 2.7. (See the other thread where, IIRC, I described the dead-end one gets into using it.)
From what I've read, they got up to v. 2.9, but anything 2.7 or higher is supposed to be fine and can be run without the hardware mod. Apple itself published a Knowledge Base article about the change--see http://support.apple.com/kb/TA31965?viewlocale=en_US
Hope that helps! I should probably try v. 2.5 again and see what goes wrong. It's been a while--and I have both IIc, IIc+, and IIes I can test it on!

Asimov has 2.5. What modification was necessary?
