Re: More on Tame

Paul,
I don't know if your case is like mine but I spend a lot of hours in
front of my display. I don't know how old you are. In my case, the idea
of writing for hours in front of a Word or WordPerfect screen could
provoke eye shock. XyWrite is designed for the long time writer and if
it's your main work tool (as in my case), the idea of a demission is out
of consideration. I would continue working under W98SE if XyWrite DOS
full screen session is not bearable for you under W2000.
I will post in a few hours details about your font question.
Best wishes,
Manuel Castelao
