Re: Windows vs. DOS XyWrite

A third reply to Harmon: I agree with your general analysis of Windoz, but v.
4 will no doubt be usable since it is largely a MS knockoff of
OS/2, and, because beta testing is probably more or less finished (a number of
beta testers have been contributing to a list I read for a couple of months),
it will probably be released soon. Then all we have to do is to wait 6 months
to a year for the bug fix release, and we will have an OS/2 that programmers
support.
