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small following among certain groups of users, it has largely been
replaced by more modern word processing tools.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.
