I think that NB 4.5a is more akin to XY3, and I am not sure that there
was a DOS version of NB that was comperable to XY4. I believe that
after version 4.5a, NB moved to Windows. Carl may be the best person
to inform us about this matter.

I love to hear people say nice things about Nota Bene! Thanks! Quite a
few people have told us that version 8 is much more user-friendly than
earlier versions. With regard to documentation, we do have 600 pages of
printable documentation in NB format and PDF format. And the same
material is also available in HLP (on screen) format.
NB is and has always been a polished product for those who like to use
the software right out of the box. Back in the good old days it had
three-ring binders with well nigh 1000 pages of documentation. I tried
the DOS NB 4.x product, but it was too complicated to reprogram.
Deloading some features proved to be impossible, so I am stuck with a
copy of NB 3.0 which has everything I need. Trying newer versions of
XyWrite and studying their documentation was useful in the sense that I
discovered features that were included, but not documented. Indeed, a
more thorough knowledgebase of the different versions would be helpful.
NB 3.0 is most akin to Xy 3+, but I for one do not have the printed Xy
3+ documentation, and it seems to me, it is not online anywhere in its
entirety. PDF versions of all manuals would be the first step followed
by a scrutiny for lacking or erroneous information. A thesaurus of
XyWrite/N.B. documentation is a goal worth striving for.
