I have been using XyWrite version 3 since
1988 when I was fortunate to obtain Herbert Tyson's XyWrite Revealed. This book
I consider a masterpiece which does full justice to the logical and fascinating
XyWrite program. Although I have in my possession XyWin, NB for Dos and NB for
Windows, for initial data capturing I use Xy dos 3.
In order to understand the XPL language I
copied virtually every program contained in Tyson's book into my computer. The
short programs that I have been able to write has enabled me to write in
shortform without using the spacebar and enter key, and by pressing one key it
expands all the shortforms, capitalizes the first letter of sentence and
paragraph, automatically puts spaces after all the punctuation marks and indent
were necessary.
In addition to rewriting of a number of books
I have written, I use these programs to edit catalogs, condense them where need
be, change their codes and format. Also to convert MS Word RTF files into plain
text.
I am in correspondence with Herbert Tyson and
in the process of obtaining his permission to reprint XyWrite Revealed. Please
e-mail me if anyone would be interested in obtaining his book.
Herbert Tyson has just produced Country style
songs on a CD - "At the Heart of it All" which by credit card is available
through Amazon.Com but by check can be purchased direct from him. His e-mail is
mailto:herb@xxxxxxxxherb@xxxxxxxx and his website
http://www.herbtyson.comwww.herbtyson.com.
At the moment I am anxious to know how do
configure the Opera e-mail and web browser to be able to locate the remote web
server. This is the message what comes up when I load it. Recently I downloaded
the trial version.
With regards,
