RE: Xywrite -- missed chance



Title: RE: Xywrite -- missed chance

I repeat...are there enough of us who:

1. Don't care that Xy is still "technically" owned by someone.
2. Have enough knowledge to read whatever language Xy's engine is written in.
3. Are skilled at writing in a GUI creating language.
3. Interested in creating a 32 bit GUI version...or better yet, a 64 bit version.

If Textpad could do XPL, it would be an amazing application.

(easy for me to say...I only qualify under #1)

I still find it sad and ironic that XY is dying together with its users
while at the same time the XY format is booming -- in the form of HTML,
which is an in-line format so very similar to XY.

And XY would have made such an incredibly good HTML editor, with its its
different viewing modes and command line.  It would be so phantastic to
have an HTML editor with XYwrite´s quick edit view, and people would really
go for it. But it does not happen. Oh well.
