There is NotaBene for Windows--it's based on XyWrite, but uses very
different keyboard assignments. But you can instruct it to load your old
.kbd file, no problem. But there are a few minor differences, and to
install NB and get it the way you like it is a little difficult, or was for me.
I use the newer version of Xy for DOS: XyWrite 4. It is an improvement
without changing (hardly) anything that you're familiar with from Xy 3+.
However, several people in this group just stick with Xy3+. You can run
that with Windows just fine--even cutting and pasting, by running it in a
window and using the icons on the border of said window.
