Re: Nota Bene

["David B. Kronenfeld" kfeld@xxxxxxxx]

I'm running NB 6.0 under WinXP (on a pentium 4), use it routinely, and it
is working like a charm--much better than it did under Win 98. Long file
names is one thing that works in XP but did not in 98. I know there exist
some bugs--which are being fixed in upcoming 6.1--but I have not myself
tripped over them.
I came to NBWin from XyWrite, use the XY kbd, etc.. Have done only a little
XPL. NBWin 5.x, at least on Win 98 (first edition, I guess) was pretty
buggy. I'm quite happy with NB 6.0.
