How we can create XyWrite V

All,

Inspired by that, I had a new idea about how to obtain the
source code: get it from Notabene. For the development work they do, they
must have either the XyWrite IV source or something functionally quite
similar, something usable for making XyWrite V.

If so, let's make a deal that requires NB do nothing, other than give us
a copy of the source.

Here's the kind of deal we can offer NB:

-- NB gets a modest fee for providing us with a copy of the relevant
source code.
-- We make, at our expense, the "relatively simple" changes
needed to create XyWrite V.
-- Those of us who contribute time and/or money to the project get a copy
of XyWrite V, for our own, non-commercial, use.

To be negotiated: who gets the other rights to the product (XyWrite V)
developed from NB's source code?
