Version 4 (or Signature) has full WYSIWYG graphical editing capabilities including on-screen display of bitmaps and Bitstream Speedo fonts.Two files may be opened on the same screen for easy comparison of changes a XyWrite command will do the comparison automatically, putting the cursor on the location at which the two files first differ (from which the user can move to the next difference). Up to nine files can be opened for editing at one time in separate 'windows' that allow quick copy-and-paste among several files.Commands are usually in simple English, such as 'Save,' 'Print,' and 'Search,' or their shorter versions, such as 'Sa' for 'Save' (commands are case-insensitive). Commands can be typed in directly on a command line, without the use of a mouse.Plain-text, editable configuration files allow easy customization of the keyboard-for remapping keystrokes and for execution of complex commands with individual keystrokes-as well as customization of what is loaded on launching the program.Users continue to write and share macros extending XyWrite features (printing to USB devices, for example). It has a flexible macro-programming language (XPL) that offers many advantages for quick search and replace, copy-editing and reformatting of raw text.XyWrite is written in assembly language, allowing it to run faster than word processors written in a higher level language.A plug-in for ANSI characters is available. This capability is useful for typesetters who need to convert to various formats, e.g., LaTeX. Its file format consists of plain text ( IBM437, or so-called 'extended ASCII') with markup (within guillemets: « »).The final version for MS-DOS was 4.18 (1993) for Windows, 4.13. XyWrite was developed by David Erickson and marketed by XyQuest from 1982 through 1992, after which it was acquired by The Technology Group. Popular with writers and editors for its speed and degree of customization, XyWrite was in its heyday the house word processor in many editorial offices, including the New York Times from 1989 to 1993.
