Re: xywrite Digest V17 #6



Apologies to all if my question is answered elsewhere:
Is there an installer of this kind for Linux systems (Ubuntu 24.04 in this case)? My goal is to run XyWrite III+, which I still believe is the best word processor I've ever used.

Thanks.

Two options: the easy one, use one of my installers to make a
vDosPlus instance. The best part of this is that it has far
superior font and print support than what was originally proposed
out-of-box.

FWIW, my strong recommendation: use one of Kari's installers. In addition to the improvements Kari mentions (which are major), it's a painless way to get up and running with vDosPlus, the hands-down best way to run XyWrite-for-DOS under 64-bit Windows.

Question: Is anyone actually using Signature for real work as a matter of preference over XyWrite 4 or earlier versions of XyWrite? Not trying to rekindle the flame wars of decades past; simply curious.
