My problem with AS is that the files aren't easily exchangable with
XyWRite. It's easy to import an ascii file into AS. But getting a file
OUT of that puppy, and importing it into XyWrite, is a challenge.
At least it was with the DOS version; I'm wondering if the
Windows version makes it a little easier.
