Harry,
A text editor cannot be all things to all people. What I mean is, a Xy
version which is platform and OS independent would be a significant
advance over being dependent on DOS emulators and parallels and
crossover and teamviewers and other workarounds. I take this to be the
point of "portability."
I happen to have an iPad, but an Android-runnable version of Xy might
suit other users.
