Re: xywrite I

There were two versions (at least) of XyWrite II, but I don't
recall that the name was changed as with XyWrite III.


I'm still using XyWrite 3.51 myself. It's the version I bought
and got used to long ago, and it has the automated dictionary
substitution which got cut after the PRD lawsuit. So... I know
the XML in the 3.58 version I downloaded from TTG is more powerful,
but being able to type "aaf" and have "Australopithecus africanus"
automatically appear is far far more useful.

I'm not sure what the first release was. Was there a commercially
available 1.0 ? Another reply you received suggests that there was.
I began with ver. II or II+ (can't recall at this point, though
concerted digging might pull up some moldy 5.25" disks). I think I
only used it for a relatively short while, because ver. 3.02 or 3.05
came out, and I upgraded to that. II was pretty reliable, to the best
of my recollection, but I can't imagine why anyone would want to go
back to anything earlier than about 3.55.
