Re: Manuals & beta version of Keyboard Documentor

I have unearthed my cloth-boxed, spiral-bound and loose-leaf XY3+ manuals, which I believe people have already scanned. Also the plastic overlay to surround the IBM keyboard function keys, for back when keyboards were all the same...

Ditto for discs of XY III, XY 3.1 and XY printer files circa 1986, and the laminated "Reference Card" pamphlet with all the commands.

Tucked in with them were nine issues of the XyQuest newsletter, XyI/XyWrite Information, from 1988-1991, including the strife over Signature in 1991.

Does anyone want those, or the discs and manuals, or the function-key surround?

I'm keeping the Reference Card, but I could easily scan it if it's not already archived.

Paul,

I think so. I have Xy3+, XY4, and Signature manuals, not the Windows

version, nor Xy2. Mailing manuals across the Pond is quite expensive,

and therefore someone near you could perhaps keep the manuals for future

use and scanning, etc.

P.S. As Carl leaked out the upcoming new version of Keyboard Documentor,

anyone interested in trying the current beta version can download it

from: https://www.lexitec.fi/xywrite/XY_keyboard_documentor.zip

Comments are most welcome. Still a work in progress.

Best regards,
