Kari makes a compelling argument. Do yourself a favor and get 64-bit
Win 7, and as much memory as you can afford. Unless you're just
upgrading the OS, not the machine, and your current machine won't run
64-bit Windows comfortably, in which case you're looking at 32-bit as
a transitional expedient.

Ah, the installer! It's nifty. You tell it where XyWrite is, where you
want vDosXy to be and, bingo, you're up and running. It even maps your
Windows drive structure onto AUTOEXEC.TXT for you. Kari, we should
dust this off and finish it. As I recall, we were down to the short
strokes....
