related to Tactile thread about Motile, I thought I’d ask the list about being to run xWord Buddy.

I had tried contacting Rob Bruce a few years back about getting an unlock code
— or the code for generating reg codes — but he’d moved onto other things.

I had written a smaller helper plugin to load .puz files in xWord Buddy via Newt’s Cape
	https://communicrossings.com/html/newton/newtscape/exs/helpxwdi.htm
but couldn’t really test w/o xWord Buddy quickly quitting or expiring

I see that UNNA has xWordBuddy2.1 (and related app: xWordSearch1.1)
and I think the helper app is built-in, but it’s difficult to test w/o unlock code
other versions avail? 


fyi. if anyone’s interested, here’s a Newton anniv. crossword I did in 2018:

if someone has a registered copy of xWord Buddy on their Newton,
it’d be neat to load  and screenshot the newton1.puz file in xWordBuddy
