Re: XYWRITE 4.018 Source Code | request for resources

[Harry Binswanger <dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When the time comes, I have my prioritized wish list for improvements. I
can anti-climax it by naming the top ones:

1. No memory limitations (beyond what any editor has)
2. Unlimited undo and redo
3. Not having to shell to DOS to get non-XyWrite things done.

Wouldn't XyWin have all those features, and more?

Regards,
Harry
