-> For me the ONLY real drawback [of Xy4] -- and it's really
-> awfully trivial -- is the silly EOF mark, which as we all know
-> is the earmark of the odious Blue Satan itself.
Is that to suggest that the EOF was introduced with Signature? If
so -- not so. XyWrite always added the EOF upon writing a file to
disk. What Signature and Xy4 did was to provide a way to read past
the EOF marker (by setting default 1A=1 before CAlling the file).
