Regarding "In Praise of Things Not Microsoft," Message Board, Dec. 17:

Larry Malkin writes to praise XyWrite, and well he might; it is a wonderful word-processing system. I too wrote books and articles with it, and was struck by how much more efficient, fast, clean and adult it is than anything else on the market.

But its owners apparently gave up on it, and stopped supporting and improving it. When I learned that, I switched to Nota Bene, which is built on the basis of XyWrite and has all its merits and some more. When Nota Bene for Windows was announced, I was — as a confirmed hater of Microsoft and all of its absurd, infantile products — skeptical; but I was persuaded to try it, and was rapidly converted. NB Win is terrific: It lets you do things the way you want to, including doing almost everything with commands and ignoring points and clicks if you dislike them, but those are there if you want them. And the compatibility problem — e.g., transferring files between NB and other formats — is solved.

I have no financial connection with Nota Bene. I am merely an enthusiast. ||  ||
