Re: Is Xy 4 now freeware?/my advice abandonware

Good luck with that, regarding
NB and U2.


Yeah, I think we all want to at least have the option of using
NB.


Here's the latest email on the state of play, from Steve Siebert on
Wednesday:



Dear Harry,




There's good news and middling news. Sam has actually fixed this
problem -- the file now loads, although he doesn't (and I don't) have a
way of testing the functions themselves. BUT... some basic functions in
NB 10 are in the process of being taken apart, and I cannot build a
working version at the moment. (And it may take a couple of weeks before
we put everything back together again.) So I am afraid that there will be
a small delay...




Business ?  I thought you were in academia . . .
.

I'm in philosophy, and my business is running a philosophic website (on
Objectivism). I used to have a foot in academia, teaching part-time or as
visiting professor, but I haven't done that since a 2002 brief stint at
the University of Texas/Austin.

I think Carl is asking, through this thought experiment, how much
XyWrite


is worth to you.



In my case, I'd say $10,000 or more. It would be hard for me to run
my


business without XyWrite.



BTW, I'm nudging Steve Siebert (of Nota Bene technical support) to
fix


NB10+ so that it will at least load the U2 file. At present, trying
to do


so gives an error message: "file is missing {{" even if the
file is empty.
