RE: XyIV translate to XyWin

["Jim Lawhon" jimlawhon@xxxxxxxx]

Here is the "where" to purchase. They give a discount to xywrite users.
I: think is was $249 rather than $499 but don't quote me (just be sure
you get the discount;-)  Since I have only used xywin and xy4, xy3,
xy2, etc. I cannot say why Nota Bene is to be preferred other than the
fact that it's most recent edition is more recent than xywin and it
apparently is still being developed, improved and supported.

Hope that helps a little, Jim
