I have a question for as many of you who care to participate.
- Which version of XyWrite had the best features?
- Which one had features your ‘best’ was lacking, or needed improvement?
- Who know what person or business owns the ‘drawer’ with the source code for that ‘best’ version?
- Who knows the owner well enough to ask for the original code?
- Will they be willing to donate it for free?
i. Will the donate, it but maintain some of the ownership?
ii. Will the sell it to a small, group of esoteric users?
Brass Tax: If I could get an answer to the questions above, (and the source code, as a result,) I could very likely persuade a small group of CS grad students to turn it into a project. Perhaps officially from their department.
(I know a few people in high places.)
Please every one: Do some thinking and give back your 10 cent’s worth…
