Re: How many of us are there left?

I find I can't bear to use MSW . . . it is just too slow to get
anything done; with the latest version, on Win 8, and the fastest
computer money can buy, even saving a small file is unbelievably slow and
disruptive. No, I will never give up Xy4 but, like Myron, I would like to
have a good, intelligent converter to/from RTF.

Xy4 in a Boxer DOS box (on a Mac).


I assume that most of us need to deal with a Word world.  I used RTF
as my preferred format with my (law) students, and explained to them why
they should do the same. (Almost no one ever did.) 


What is your method of converting between Xy4/XyWin and RTF? The DOS
converter is/was pretty old, as I recall, and I think I may have had some
problems getting it to function properly. Short of using NB-8/9/10 (all
of which I own), is there a relatively modern converter that can handle
Xy4?

XY4, on a Mac, Boxer as a DOS emulator. Basic needs, like Lisa says.

Xy3. Most every day.


Almost exclusively for wholesale file conversion using Xy's wonderful
programming ability.

Dear all



Does anybody have an idea how many of us still use XY4, XY3 and
XYWin?


I'm guessing there are 20-30 from the list but that could be way out,
in


either direction.
