that's interesting.
What I've been hearing is that WPW requires too many heaps,
whatever on earth THEY are, and that as a result even more memory
will not do the trick.

I'd have thought 8 megs was enough to run a word processor, FAX
receive program and a scheduler; apparently not.

I have to say, I've been rethinking my abandonment of XyWrite
since the arrival on this list of the TTG reps, which suggests to
me that the product isn't as precarious as I had feared.
