On this issue, I am not sure if it is on-topic of off topic. In the
interest of helping those who are new to XyWrite, I'll error on the side of
it being ON TOPIC, since I can easily verify that 8 years ago, when I was
really into xpl, I did my best work late, late into the early morning under
the wonderful influence of that wonderful elixir. I think the command
is BC, DRink, BEer,XC; although more a more advanced program would include
formatting switches indicating which types and brands to use. Over time, I
learned that the best results were from the function call DM (Dormunder,
German beer), or GS (Guiness Stout, mixed half w/ regular beer.)

OK, back to work.

Please, people, relax. Some like to chat about non-XY things, some don't.
If there is interest in discussing germs and water cures, why not post at
another list. I have one that is practically unused (was meant as the
continuation of a since defunct bulletin board in Tokyo). It is called
"The_Ofuro@xxxxxxxx, oops, by now that would be
The_Ofuro@xxxxxxxx. Why not post off-topic matters there and leave
the XYwrite list for the purists.

NB: Personally, I believe in the miraculous healing powers of BEER. Has
worked for me for the last few decades...
