And the Swiss Army Knife is exactly that: a powerful, versatile tool. And
that's XyWrite.

A totally false analogy. The programming tool in question, XPL, is used to
enhance XyWrite, and it certainly does.

I see. I.e.,. you are to be allowed to say anything you wish and when I
reply in kind I am supposed to examine myself and repent? Sorry, but
it doesn't work that way, especially when you target so intelligent and
knowledgeable a contributor as Annie Fisher. I don't take kindly to flames
and if flamed I bazooka back. If flamed again I assume unrepentence on the
part of the instigator and simply ignore them subsequently.
