I'm done with the first rudimentary version of glue for using a Perl script as a Word Services server. Now I'm looking for others who would like to give it a try -- and who know how to deal with pre-release software! Shortcomings & problems: - No handling of errors. - No nice packaging for direct use from MacPerl. - In Writeswell Jr. and Tex-Edit+ AESend complains "connectionInvalid" (-609). - MacPerl is reluctant to quit when it gets a quit AE. It uses the Notification Mgr to blink the app menu icon and quits only when switched to the front.
