Re: XPL to xpl

[Kari Eveli <dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carl,
The focus has lately been on XyScript alone. vDosPlus XyWrite has its 
uses and can feel more "comfy" than XyScript for the ordinary 
XyWrite-oriented writer. In its current state it can produce good print 
output in several code pages (with no gaps in the character set). The 
DOS code page-Unicode barrier is not an insurmountable hindrance for me, 
and it is much less so for an English-speaking audience that requires 
mostly only the lower part of the ASCII character set. If xpl is the 
most important feature you need, XyScript can be the "general purpose 
environment" for implementing programs. If word processing is the main 
thing, then your customary program is better, be it XyWrite, Word, 
TextMaker (Windows, Linux, macOS, free and paid editions) or Google 
Docs. If text editing is all you need, EditPad, Notepad++ or VScode has 
you covered.
The question is which proportion of this "hermetic little group" prefers XyScript overvDosPlus XyWrite. I question the "hermetic" attribute, we are open to 
influences like anybody, just stuck with old habits.
