Mark,
≪Xy hold-outs stubbornly holding on...≫
Not so. Have you been following the parallel mails from Poirier,
Brownlow, and co.? Professional writers, editors, indexers--people who
deliver camera-ready copy--appreciate Xy because it offers a level of
control over text few other programs can name any more, much less
deliver. It's not stubbornness; it's professionalism. MS-Word is for
secretaries; entirely adequate for business correspondence, but not for
publishing. "Desk-top publishing" degraded the industry; publishers and
editors who used to know better forgot what camera-ready copy was and
started accepting slapdash (MS-Word-generated) copy.
