Re: XY4 in Win7-64

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

I see that Parallels, which gives me a virtual PC the Mac, makes something
that does virtual machines for windows: Parallels Workstation. It may be
better (or worse) than VMware. The Parallels on my Mac is pretty damn
intuitive. I used VPC when it was still a non-MS product, and though it ran
well, it is nowhere near as clean and intuitive as Parallels (for Mac).


I run TameDOS to get a nice 43-line window, with scaleable fonts. It's too
bad that TameDOS is so quirky and unsupported, because once you get it
tweaked it's fantastic for Xy.


Still, I am also getting to know NB, which is the future.
