As a person who rejected Microsoft Word on several grounds and chose
WordPerfect as my main processor of words, I followed the debate here
with more than passing interest. As much as I like WordPerfect 4.1 and
as much as I tout it to people looking for a word processor, I have
just about made up my mind to switch to either XyWrite III or Nota Bene
(which uses the XyWrite engine) as soon as I get a few major writing
projects out of the way. Even if XyWrite III could not do nearly
everything WP4.1 could do, its blinding speed alone is almost enough
to switch me over.
Might be interesting to hear from some of you XyWrite folks who took
a poke at WordPerfect or Word before settling on XyWrite. If you
know of any drawbacks (I see only a few trivial ones), it might make
for interesting net reading...todd
