well, I agree. but I just very rarely meet people who are using XyWrite
anymore. After III+, there seemed to be just a gap, IV en IVWin falling in it.

What are SGML documents? I would not be too optimistisch about TTG, since they
seem not interested in XyW at all. Indeed this is incomprehensible. An OS/2
version is further away than the moon, I think

Am I missing something? I thought you were a XYWRITE addict.
BTW, I share your hopes about a prosperous future voor XyWrite. Please help me being more
optimistic...
