I looked briefly at the page. How does your python extension work with xywrite? Does it manipulate xywrite documents or does it tie in at runtime with Xywrite somehow? If so, how does it do this? Crossing the divide into a 16-bit app is pretty impressive. I wonder how well your system could be made to work with dosbox. Dosbox runs xywrite on any platform (even non x86 like a tablet). I'm not sure how you'd interface dosbox with python on the host though.

Actually, Microsoft made it pretty easy to call 32-bit DLLs in a 16-bit process and vice versa. That's why many of us were surprised when they did not provide the same capability in the 32/64 transition. -- Tim Roberts, timr@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc.
