Fwd: Re: XyWrite history? (fwd)

[Carlo Caballero carloc@xxxxxxxx]

This refers to an old message from Joseph Fisher, excerpted below, about the
history of xyWrite. I have
one answer for him. The "+" in "XyWrite III+" referred specifically to the
addition of the "A la carte" menus. Of course, there were other changes
that earlier participants in this discussion mentioned, but the menus
"added" an alternative to the command-line interface.

Cheers,
Carlo
