	Here's the gist of the letter that I received two or three weeks
ago from OXXI.  It says that it has many more features than TxED +, and
even has the capability (in a setup file) to emulate TxED.  It comes with 
this file, so you can use it just like TxED from the moment that you get
it.  It also has an AREXX interface, a Hex editing window, programmer's
calculator (whatever that is), unlimited # of documents at once, outlining,
remapping of keyboard, menus, and all text strings (so I guess it can even
LOOK like TxED, if you want), and English, French and German text.
	The cost is $49.95 + $5 shipping for their "early-bird special",
which lasts until the program is released, at which point it will cost $69.95
for registered TxED owners.  The special costs $59.95 for non-TxEd owners,
(for the "early-bird special"), and the list price will be $99.95.
	The author is one of the guys that worked on ARP.  The envelope
also contained a letter from Charlie Heath, of Microsmiths, inc., endorsing
the product, and saying that he couldn't possibly start on an upgrade before
Fall of '91.

	The address for OXXI is:

	  OXXI inc.
	  P.O. Box 90309
	  Long Beach, CA 90809-0309

	And their phone # is:

	  213-427-1227
