Re: XySearch




Wow. This is amazing.  I just discovered this email 15 minutes ago and tried it. 

I just typed in my last name on this search program and within about .031 seconds, faster than I can say "I hate Bill Gates," up came bunches of my inquiries to this list going back to 2001.

Very impressive.  

I can not express how grateful I was in 1986 or '87  to discover our tiny newspaper was going to get XyWrite and when I discovered the BBS (I think that is the acronym for "Bulletin Board" and started copying every single bit of wisdom from Carl, Robert and others about how to use XyWrite.

I die a bit every day when I get tangled up in the never-ending Hell of having to deal with Windows.  I've been searching for a file in Window with notes from a phone conversation sometime last year and want to just jump out of a window.  A Windows 10, of course.

Anyway, glad to see XyWrite still going strong from some people.

This is fantastic, Robert, faster and more comprehensive than ever. An
essential Xy-reference restored! It must have taken a ton of work.
Thanks so much.
