While I won't try to claim that the FIRST or
SECOND
emails were flames, I'm inclined to think that they
started early. 'course in our day, we were much more
polite in how we flamed
Emacs? You _MUST_ be kidding.

Did you really think that that was better than Electric Pencil?
My very first inspiration for writing XenoCopy was ads for Michael
Shrayer's program to convert files from Electric Pencil disks to CP/M
disks. I never saw or used it, but the idea that files COULD BE converted
between incompatible disk formats, . . .
Until August 1981, my development efforts were on TRS80.
TRS80 version was a welcome surprise, and then Pennington's PC version was
a shock, but much too late.

it worse than WordStar. :)

It would be really cool if you were to upload XenoCopy to the IA with a
description of how it came to be, the development process and its history.
I suspect it would be a fascinating read.
