Re: copying an XY manual

[Norman Bauman nbauman@xxxxxxxx]

I must say that Rothman's book (unlike Tyson's) was a big disappointment,
and certainly not a substitute for the manual.

It was more trouble to figure out than the XyWrite manual itself, and it
was one of those books that translated straightforward technical
explanations into a cutsy "story" style, e.g. "Jonathan Windom never could
understand people who prided themselves on not knowing how to type. He
himself galloped along at 110 words per minute ... "
