Count me in too. Just one proviso. Let's keep this honest. If there is
no plan to produce a final version, we are not talking about a beta, but a
limited version that is planned as the only release. Why not honestly call
it that, and admit that TG is selling it?

I am sorry to hear that the list has discouraged Phil Smith from trying out
XW. I use it *and* XY. What strikes me about them is their general
similarity and the extent to which XW can be set up to work identically
with XY. I might well have switched entirely to XW, except for its
draft-mode screen font, which I find impossible to look at for long
periods. Subscribers have suggested various alternatives, but none work on
my system. Since it is clear that the new "beta" version will let one
choose a screen font, and it includes the whole present feature set, I look
forward to trying it out.

Cheers,
