Re: Chain Printing Bug

[SysOp]

Robert,

Glad to hear... so far, so good... and sorry for the extreme delay. I wish I
could provide you with the direction that the development of our product is
headed for, but it has not been strictly outlined as of yet. I can tell you
that what we are currently working on is an intelligent product (word processor
- document construction oriented) which makes use of database technolgy and
learns the way that you write and assists you in a dynamic way. I realize this
is not very clear, but the product will be extremely useful for individuals and
organizations that create documents which are in some respects considered
staple, but require variables as well. For instance, goverment and insurance
contracts, etc. Where ost of the document is staple (database stuff) and the
variables are related to the plug-in information (tenant, insurer, insured,
etc.). This product will also maintain the word processing features we have,
however I do not know if it will be streamlined... maybe some, but I doubt very
much.

As to how this will affect our attending to the current products, I do not know
for sure. We intend to continue fixing problems in both XyWrite 4 and XyWrite
for Windows, however it will not be attended to with the effort that we saw in
previous years with III Plus... as that was really our only product. At this
point, concerning fixes to both current products, our approach is basically as
follows (and this is based on factors related to the number of developers we
have, development schedule for current development, etc.). For problems which
are crash related, or features that do not work (without a workaround), we try
to get a fix in ASAP, and deliver it to the user. For other problems we gather
from the list the prioritized problems and try to fix them in a batch. For
requests, we cannot promise anything soon.

As more details emerge with respect to our current development, I will feed
information to the board.

Regards, SysOp
