Re: Resurrection of XyWrite?




 
Anybody out there know where I can get a copy of the Xywrite II program or compatible? I've got old floppies with family files on them that I can't read because I don't have the program files.  Will Xywrite III open them?
 
Thanks for any help.

As Carl has said, that's surprising & silly.  To me it's also
depressing, for it suggests that planned obsolescence is blindly
accepted -- promulgated! -- in the world of Microsoft & fellow
travelers.

Such imbecility ought not be allowed.
