Re: Xywrite for Windows

Thanks for the response. I have checked those files, which are helpful. 

Your XWComp does not include any of the bugs/changes which I have encountered, so you must not use,
for example, the AK function and the VA$RS!!! Both have been very helpful to me for specific
purposes in the past, but seem not to be in XW. Alas.

I will compile a list of my conversion problems as I go along and forward it to you when I think it
is "complete"

Thanks for your effort on behalf of the XyWrite community.
