Mention of XY/OS2 in Nexis search



looking through a Nexis/Lexis full text search, I found
2000 references to XYwrite. Many were to duplicates,
syndicated articles in legal journals that were the same
etc.

One might be interesting.And there is where you can get XY/OS2

SECTION: VOL. 25; No. 21; Pg. 11
LENGTH: 328 words
HEADLINE: CText switches to NT, NAPS H&J
BODY:
  The key announcement from CText was Dateline/NT, the NT version of the
Dateline editorial system. It uses NT in the workstation instead of OS/2, which
has been in use in the current version, Dateline/2. (This decision is in line
with the trend seen with some other suppliers, including CCI and Cybergraphic,
to use NT rather than Windows 95, on the grounds that NT is more secure.) There
has been no change in the Dateline server, which remains either a Tandem host
running NonStop SQL or any machine capable of running Sybase System 10 or
11.Both Dateline/NT and Dateline/2 clients can access a single Dateline database
simultaneously.

  H&J switch. Dateline/NT uses Word for Windows 95 as its text editor and North
Atlantic Publishing Systems' H&J Engine working with Xpress for composition.
This differs from the use of XyWrite for OS/2 as the editor and the Tomahawk
composition engine as used in the installed versions of Dateline/2. Currently
the NAPS engine runs Xpress within the workstation, but in the future it will be
able to access Xpress from composition servers on the network. Articles are
stored in RFT format, which will allow for CText's own composition preview
software to be used within the Dateline/NT client, instead of having to use
Xpress.
  File management. Dateline/NT supports the same dynamic directories CText
introduced years ago, but they have added a full drag-and-drop capability to
move stories from one directory to another, plus customizable toolbars and the
automatic display of audit trail and header information.

  Also new is a link to graphics in the database, which makes it possible to
display thumbnails of images within directory listings. As images are modified
using other graphic applications, the images are updated in the database. These
links can extend to an OPI system.

  The client component of AdVision, CText's classified ad system for OS/2, will
be ported to NT. Development will start early next year.
