Right. Exactly. It seems to me that many of us HAVE the ideal word
processor
for our specific needs. Improvements in Xy/Dos might be nice, but
they would
likely bulk it up, slow it down, and then we wouldn't have the great
program we have
now.

My own view: I'll keep using Xy for my daily reporting work, and have
a
Win95 program available when I need to do things XyWrite doesn't do
well.
Dreaming of an advanced XyWrite that does all the things MsW does ,
but as fast
and as reliably as XyWrite, is indeed a pipe dream.

Just one XyWriter's opinion....
