Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to give a simple proof for a larger class of spaces of the following theorem of Kalton and Werner.
(a) X has property (M*), and
(b) X has the metric compact approximation property
Our main tool is a new property (wM*) which we show to be closely related to the unconditional metric approximation property.
