Well,
 I just installed 3.2.5 in W2K and all of my "stuff" seems to work. I'm a
 happy camper. Many thanks for the information and link!

That's
 actually an interesting idea. OS/2 was our OS of choice in the '90s. 
XyWrite ran beautifully under it, and when we needed extensions to the 
XyWrite Programming Language (XPL) we used Rexx ("RexXPL"). Since last 
year I've been using Python instead ("XPyL"). The fact is, though, most 
XyWriters are running XyWrite under Windows, except for the few running 
it under Linux. Much of our script development since then has focused on
 integrating Xy with Windows, so to revert to OS/2 would be swimming 
against the tide. But I may just try it anyway!

Thanks, guys.
