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

Good.

Did you catch my comments in the other post regarding .ANS file 
compatibilty between AnExpertEditor <-> AN1xEditor? Any idea's

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.
