Re: XyWrite III* and colour printers

[Richard Giering dick.giering@xxxxxxxx]

Hi:
 I use XYWrite with a color Canon BJC 430 printer
and I get color (using the mode nbrs). I must
admit that I don't do too much in XYWrite in color
(most of my color work is in HTML for my web site.
 I use XYWrite 4.12 (I think, maybe 11 or 13) but
for windows, not the DOS version and there are
only two problems I've run acress 1) restoring
requires a right click and then restore (rather
that the normal left click) and 2) the clipboard
problem that has been posted here for some time.
I'm waiting, with baited breath, fo the next
version which TTG promised over a year ago would
be available shortly.
GOOD LUCK
Dick Giering
