One of the very few, let me say. Quoting from a message posted by one
Stephen Shaw back in April:

"Two weeks ago I surveyed members of this listserv as to how many were
using
XyWrite for Windows. Six people responded that they use XW (in
addition to
myself). Of these, several used XW in combination with Xy4 for DOS.

"Assuming there was a pretty good response rate, it confirms my
impression
that XW use is fairly restricted among this (probably atypical) user
group.
Although I had also been reluctant to switch, I now find that the
benefits
of XW amply repay the substantial effort that went into modifying my
XPL
code to behave in XW.

So then, I stand corrected. Instead of writing, " Xywrite for Windows
has many users," I should have written, "on the Xywrite listsrv, Xywin
has half a dozen known regular users of Xywin, and at least one of
them is enthusiastic about it."

Hope I cleared that up.
