Hello all,Some easy fixes could be interesting, at least from an esthetical point of view and for compatibility with XY4, like changing «MDRV» to «MDIT» and «MDBR» to «MDBI» in XY3. XY3 and/or NB3 are not buggy to an extent that needs very much attention. To be of any use, the source code should be documented, a vast task I would surmise. The copyright stands, but perhaps it will not be enforced. There is unfortunately not a legal procedure for relegating software to abandonware status. There is clearly a need to contact the copyright holder(s). As for making new versions on current software platforms, I would not base them on assembly code. The software is quite well documented and a clean-room copy that would produce similar functionality would make more sense. However, good modern editors abound (and open-source codebases for such programs are available for that matter), so there is little reason to reinvent the wheel. (EditPad mimicks XyWrite color coding syntax, and supports huge files. I use it every day.) If we after all these years see a modern stripped-down version of NB dubbed XY5 or something else, I would be totally amazed. It was discussed in 2019. It is probably just a château en Espagne.
