Re: Windoze questions

[Allan Needell NASSH100@xxxxxxxx]

I, like Myron, am a relatively happy xywin 4.11 user. I use it to
write all of my letters, memos, faxes and short documents, and
what bugs there are are really inconsequential. For longer
articles and manuscripts I continue to use Notabene 4.2 because
of the enormous investment I have in Ibid and Orbis databases.

I too have xywin 4.12 on order and suspect it will eliminate m
ost of the "rough around the edges" and "relatively buggy"
complaints (even though I haven't had any really bad experiences
personally).

I know Jeff Ramsay hasdbeen monitoring the list. Might we have a
statement soon (of course without unkeepable specific dates) of
the development course of xywin? Is orbis development still underway Ibid?
Are further revised versions in development or planned?

Thanks.
