A Reuters dispatch posted at the NYTimes site this morning
should send a chill down the spine of any xylist subscriber
who relies as I do on software that's been recommended on
this list like Opera, Windows Commander, NoteTab, the KR
keyboard remapper, etc to complement xyWrite under win9x:

	`Microsoft Says in Talks to Buy Euro Software Firms'
	http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/technology/tech-microsoft-acquis.html

"U.S. software company Microsoft said on Wednesday it
is in talks to buy European software companies to create
an all-in-one business software package for small and
medium-sized enterprises. [...]"

The only name that's named is Sage. ... Ciao. 		--a
