Edward,
Thank you for sharing these essays. I enjoyed the walk down memory
lane. My favorite bit:

Since you've released them into the wild, I've taken the liberty of
adding both pieces to my archive of writing about XyWrite:
https://xywwweb.ammaze.net/dls/XyHistory.zip
They're combined into a single PDF file, with the total file size
reduced from 14 MB to 6 MB. If any of this does not sit well with you,
please let me know and I'll take remedial action.
