ChatGPT's views on XyWrite



I tested TextMaker NX's advertised ChatGPT capability and it come up with this on XyWrite:
XyWrite is a word processing software that was developed in the 1980s by 
XyQuest. It was one of the earliest word processors that was designed 
for IBM-compatible personal computers. The software was particularly 
popular among writers, journalists, and other professionals who required 
a powerful and flexible word processing tool.
The development of XyWrite began in the late 1970s, when XyQuest was 
founded by David Erickson and his colleagues. At the time, there were 
few word processing tools available for personal computers, and those 
that existed were often limited in their functionality. XyWrite was 
designed to address these limitations, providing users with a powerful 
and flexible tool that could handle large documents and complex 
formatting requirements.
One of the key features of XyWrite was its ability to handle large 
documents with ease. Unlike many other word processors of the time, 
XyWrite was designed to work with documents that were hundreds or even 
thousands of pages long. This made it an ideal tool for writers, 
journalists, and other professionals who needed to work with lengthy 
documents on a regular basis.
Another important feature of XyWrite was its flexibility. The software 
allowed users to customize their working environment to suit their 
specific needs. This included the ability to create custom macros and 
keyboard shortcuts, as well as the ability to customize the appearance 
of the user interface.
Over the years, XyWrite continued to evolve and improve. New versions of 
the software were released, adding new features and capabilities. 
However, as the personal computer market evolved, XyWrite began to lose 
ground to newer word processing tools that were designed to work with 
graphical user interfaces and other modern technologies.
Today, XyWrite is largely a relic of the past. While it still has a 
small following among certain groups of users, it has largely been 
replaced by more modern word processing tools. However, its legacy lives 
on, and it is remembered as one of the earliest and most influential 
word processors in the history of personal computing.
