   So are you saying that MS is participating in TTG's porting of
XY to 32-bit for windoz 97? Or that there just isn't going to be any
32-bit version of XY, period?
   Sad news indeed! I hope you don't harbour any illusions that
 the OS/2 users are going to buy into your windoz 95 products?
BTW, do you have any information on the current status of the
Unix binary port of XY done by Hunter a few years ago? Did they
ever do the same for XY4?
Or Signature? That's certainly a better option as far as I'm
concerned if there isn't going to be a XY/2. Linux with Motif is
a pretty cool 32-bit
OS.
