As a newcomer to this listserv, I've been especially pleased to
read the XyWrite history posts this past week. I was introduced
to XyWrite II in the late '80s by my wife, whose newspaper, the
Philadelphia Inquirer, used ATEX in house and XyWrite for its
laptops on the road. (Before that I was using Perfect Writer.)
Since 1991 I've used XyWrite III+ to write four books. It seems
to work fine on Win98, but I have to copy the file to MS-Word
for printing or email, a procedure I've grown so accustomed to
I don't think twice about it.
The question about XyWrite's future seems to depend on whether
it's compatible with Windows XP. Does anyone have any
suggestions about running XyWrite on XP? I have to get a new
computer, so I'm hoping it will work on XP and I can continue
to use it like forever.
