Is your copy of CRG dated around 1990-91? It's possible -- I'm
speculating -- that XyQuest/IBM decided briefly (and for no good
reason) to rename WORD.OVR when Signature came out, but then quickly
reverted to the original name. (Perhaps someone with a set of
Signature disks could settle this burning question.) Your CRG could
be the Inverted Jenny of XyWrite documentation, worth millions on
the 'bay! (Yeah, and I just won the lottery.)
