Re: XyWrite's future - NB 10 or something different?

Kari,


The intermediate-term solution I use is Win7 32 bit. Works beautifully.
Big files should be handleable with Carl's BigEdit U2 routine. I have
tested it only a little, but it performed flawlessly.


Of course, 5 or 10 years from now, Win7 will be impossible. But look on
the bright side: in less time than that, we may all be dead.
