Re: XyWrite 4 under macOS



Myron,
It is indeed outstanding. The W4W system is under 'File, Batch Convert'. There is also a 'Save As' option to save as RTF CP850.
You can modify the keyboard file with editor.exe or by using my XyWrite 
Keyboard Documentor (which consists of two command-line Windows 
programs: KBD2KT.EXE and KT2KBD.EXE, read the KBD2KT.TXT file in Xy 
program folder for details). If it is not included in your setup, 
download from https://www.lexitec.fi/xywrite/XY_keyboard_documentor.zip.

Best regards,

Scrolling is fast and smooth, page up and down is fast, as is searching.  At this point I�d say it feels faster and smoother than NB in its current macOS setting (which is not bad at all).

I�ll see if I can find my modified keyboard file, or reconstruct it, and then see how well it functions for me as a word processor, or at the very least as a text editor.

There was a W4W RTF translator, wasn�t there?  I see W4W files in the Xy4 installation, but they don�t appear in the File/Open menus. It�s been decades since I fiddled around with the menu system.

Thanks to all who have helped keep Xy alive.
