Ventura and XyWrite

I'm still using XY4.017 DOS with Ventura 3; that's the GEM version released by
Xerox itself almost ten years ago. The GEM interface is old, and if you've
grown up on Windows I suppose it seems non-intuitive. But it's simple and
really fast (ten years ago we had 15MHZ 386's) and as Manuel points out, Ventura
(in its earlier versions) links to the text file without importing it. This
makes Ventura and XyWrite a great combination. And both work fine under OS/2.
