Avrom, I downloaded zy.zip from Vetusware.com and put it on one of my web
sites. Anybody who wants it can snatch it from http://www.loftpress.com/zy ,
where I will leave it for a few days. Hope it is what you're looking for.

Subject: Getting help from xysearch, Icons and short cuts and off topic on
zyIndex.
I tried to access xysearch and feel like I am suffering from dementia. I had
a memory that there had been discussion on starting xywrite from an icon. I
had a recollection that Robert had written clear instructions that worked
beautifully. I went to the web page //www.freelists.org/archive/xywrite/
I tried icon and shortcut but nothing turned up that was relevant to me.. I
think the discussion occurred some years ago. Is there anyway of accessing
those older posts. If not could Robert or Carl please post the diwcussions on
icons and shortcuts again. I am using windows xp home on one computer and
windows xp pro on another.
On entering xywrite from my icon, I enter a window rather than full screen. I
than "alt" enter to get a full screen and from my perspective it seems to work
as well as when the world was in dos. I have no problem reading the screen and
the fonts on the screen seem fine. The only thing is I always get a horizontal
screen across the page which disappears when I alt W and than hit x key. Since
I have no problem with what I have, and I feel uncomfortable in windows, I am
afraid to tinker and ruin what so far is working.
Also where will I find the conventions for listing key strokes and things
like that.
Off the topic I used to have program called zyindex which made a concordance
of all the wordperfect and xywrite and other text files that were designated.
I could than do a boolen login search win zylab and would almost instantly find
all the references in the files subject to the concordance. I would love to
find an old working copy of zyindex( my disks no longer work) Would anyone
know where I could find the old dos program or one that would work like it did.
I have no need for searching graphics, just wordperfect and xywrite and text
files.
Thanks for the help.
