Okay, got it.
There are both stand alone and plugin (XGWorks) editors for the
PLG cards for Windows. And there are plugin (XGWorks) editors
for the xx200 series on Windows but no stand alone versions.
For Macintosh there are standalone editors for both the PLG and
xx200 series but no XGWorks.
And AN1xEdit works with AN1x, PLG and xxSeries cross platform.
I think we have a winner here ;-) ha ha ha

Well, I'd say were about 90% compliant then - aside from the
PDFs in the documentation directory here at Yahoo! Groups and
maybe their old Mac Visual Editor. I suppose I should clean that
up sometime...

Hhhm, some of the other lists may need to take notice of this...

It does help. Thank you. I'm undr the impression xx200 series
owners can acquire the bundled CDROMs from Yamaha -
probably for the cost of S+H. I'll try and confirm this info.
