This is a very interesting collection, I must say.

I tried to find WP 3.5 Mac on European ebays, but hardly found
anything. Beside I also don't own any Macs.

So, unless somebody else who has that WP (and does not need anymore)
gives it to me, I guess I must stay with my limited test cases so far.
Of course, when libwpg reaches a usable state, you can always
'torture' it with your collections.

Thank you.
