Re: How many of us are there left?

I’m not sure I’m a Xyster any longer, but I remain a follower. . . and from time to time some kind of text conversion needs the XyWrite touch. Lately I’ve been keeping Xy4 in a Boxer DOS box (on a Mac).

I assume that most of us need to deal with a Word world.  I used RTF as my preferred format with my (law) students, and explained to them why they should do the same. (Almost no one ever did.)  

What is your method of converting between Xy4/XyWin and RTF? The DOS converter is/was pretty old, as I recall, and I think I may have had some problems getting it to function properly. Short of using NB-8/9/10 (all of which I own), is there a relatively modern converter that can handle Xy4?

XY4, on a Mac, Boxer as a DOS emulator. Basic needs, like Lisa says.

Xy3. Most every day.
Almost exclusively for wholesale file conversion using Xy's wonderful programming ability.

Dear all

Does anybody have an idea how many of us still use XY4, XY3 and XYWin?
I'm guessing there are 20-30 from the list but that could be way out, in
either direction.
