Xy4Win version 4.12



I have received my Xy4Win 4.12 upgrade from The Tech Group, but frankly,
I am somewhat disappointed. While I don't notice any immediate
differences or improvements over version 4.11, the biggest
problem I was having is still NOT fixed: whenever I send a fax from the program, using either
Procomm Plus for Windows version 2.0 or WinFax Pro 4.0, the first
page is fine, but text on all subsequent pages is 'grayed out'
(it appears in a reverse style with white on gray, which is still
somewhat readable but takes much longer to transmit than regular
text and of course looks funny). I understand that this happens
only with certain video cards at certain resolutions (I have a
Diamond Speedstar of about 3 years back which I use at
800x600x256). In fact, when I throttle my card back to regular
VGA resolution, fax send works fine, but I do not want to do
that, and all my other Windows word processors can send perfect
faxes in the same environment where XyWrite for Windows gives
problems.

Also, despite the claims in the "what's fixed" list, calling Help
from certain pushbuttons still results in an "invalid keyword"
message.
Try for example "Advanced - Preferences - Defaults - [Help]" or
"Advanced - Programming - Function Calls - [Help]"

A minor annoyance that I didn't notice in 4.11 is that in the
fonts list box, after the name of a TrueType font, there appears
a character which looks like a Spanish n with a tilde. No idea
what that is doing there.
