Dear Kari Yes, it depends what you want.I generate all my text files in Xy4 and then move them to Windows for compiling, importing into Word and sending off to publishers etc. I have never found a windows program that suits me for writing. That is why I have created my system.

All EXEs are as is, and only user-editable files have been modified. While it is possible to create a code page that would work in both worlds, e.g. by adding guillemets in their XyWrite positions in CP 1252 (like we did in the Russian/English CP866X), there are so many good options for editing Windows text files that this is hardly necessary. EditPad and Notepad++ can handle Windows and legacy CPs, and can be used to convert automatically from one to the other.

This is equivalent to the Ansified XY4 developed by Robert some years ago, but running in VDOS plus with the code page set to 1252. With this, all files generated in XY4 can immediately be read by windows programs without any translation.
