 < The brief answer: works fine--actually better when it comes to printing,
because the spooling is handled so well. You can also cut and paste your
telecommunications sessions into xy pretty easily and ru4dwn multiple xy
sessions for different purposes. Various pieces of OS/2 software can be told
to use Xy as the default editor if you want (I don't actually find this
useful). My machine is all os/2 (no windows) except for Xy and Quicken. I may
eventually migrate myself to Describe, but I'm in no hurry. Xy will run a
little faster under OS/2 and you'll also have slightly more memory in your dos
session without even having to spend hours tweaking something like QEMM.
