WacWrite

About

WacWrite is a program extra for legacy WacOS (8 bit and 16 bit only) that is meant to imitate MacWrite, but not just be a copy of its source code. It will have its own graphics, and will be a functional low-level document editor.

Language

WacWrite will be available in any approved requested language, the current main ones already planned for are English, Esperanto, Spanish, Polish, French, German, Greek, Russian, and Portuguese.

It will be written in C and Assembly.

File format

This program will be able to read and write to the legacy MacWrite file extensions. Based on my research, the default formats are:

*.maca

*.macampwd

*.mpwrmw2d

*.mw2dmw2s

*.mw2smwii

*.mwiimwpd

*.mwpdmwpp

*.mwppmwpr

*.mwpr

I cannot confirm any of these at the moment, they are placeholders for when I find the actual extension

Home repositories

These are the mainhouse and guesthouse links for this project

Guesthouse repository

This is a guesthouse repository, and not a home repository, as development mainly stays on the main WacOS side. This is just the guesthouse that the project retreats to at times. If you are already in this repository, the link is likely recursive, and will reload the page.

Home repository

This is the home repository. If you are already in this repository, the link is likely recursive, and will reload the page.
