You could convert PDFs to Xy plain text (need the additional program
GHview to convert PDF to text). the problem is that the pagination
would very likely go down the tubes. And pagination is essential to
indexing..

Yes, it does. Carl and Robert have a SAve to RTF routine in U2. Just
beware of any clients dumb enough to listen to Microsludge's siren
song about DOCX. It's a snare and a delusion.

Bry Henderson, the Webmaster of XyWrite.com, is working on scanning
and OCRing the Xy III and 4 manuals, but like everyone else he never
has time enough. He did get the Customization Guide to Xy 4 done, and
it, along with a booklet on XPL originally issued by Xyquest and TTG,
and updated by Robert, will be on the CD I'm going to send you.
