Thanks Daniel, for explaining at further length what I was attempting to
suggest to TTG. It might behoove TTG to contact Jim Lenanane (DeScribes's
CEO) to see what they might want for their custom APIs. The idea of
porting XyWrite to OS/2 comes from my belief that:
  1) OS/2 is a very powerful and useful platform
  2) Xy's customer base is, IMO, much more likely to be running OS/2
    than the "average" computer user.
