Kari, I've been assuming a Windows wysiwyg display & printing, 
not a retro/skeuomorphic DOS display. Time will tell. First 
let's see if we can surmount the financial hurdle.

Carl,

As the Xy3 "printer files" are actually the glue between the screen presentation
and the formatting codes (and ultimately the printer instructions), I think some implementation
of Xy3-like printer/screen tables is necessary to achieve basic Xy3 compatibility. Xy3 or Xy4 XPL 
syntax is not a dealbreaker.

As for printing, I wouldn't hold out much hope for backward
compatibility with either Xy4 or Xy3 printer
files, if the program will indeed integrate with Windows!
printing facilities, as it should.
