Re: XyWrite & WordPro for OS/2

[Jimmy C Diecker diecker@xxxxxxxx]

Steve,

I also would like to know of your experience with WordPro. I use Win95
though (on my home machine), and don't know how comparable that version
would be with the one for OS/2. I've been trying for months to decide
what to do if indeed we're seeing the end of the road for XyWrite. If I
do eventually have to switch to another program, the cleanliness, so to
speak, of its ability to convert my years of XyWrite files to its format
would be of primary importance.
