 Add a site to this page!
If you would like a
link to your site (or someone else's) on this page, please drop
an e-mail note to Barry MacDonnell.
The site must offer something to users of WordPerfect
for Windows -- such as WP macros, freeware, shareware, program
add-ins, evaluation programs, user tips, clever templates, etc.
A site that simply offers a few links to other sites, or merely
offers your services for hire, generally will not qualify. Webmasters
and web authors: Please e-mail updated
links and descriptions of the sites on this page.
