No idea.

May be. But it isn't very satisfying to launch Xy2(+) on a modern operating
system. It runs very very slowly -- not because it is inherently slow, but
because of some software problem that nobody is yet able to resolve (or nobody
has bothered to resolve), but probably due to its expectation that it
completely owns the CPU. Plus, it doesn't understand any Xy3 or Xy4 codes, so
if you try to read a modern XyWrite document with Xy2, it beeps and complains
constantly. Most unpleasant.

Was there ever a Xy1?
