Re: A wild new idea for the future of XyWrite



Hi Carl,

So, the lfn version has for you supplanted the earlier VDosXy implementation, which is the one that I had installed ?  It was my intention to check out LFN, though I had not gotten around to it yet.  Then it must have some advantages -- beyond the fact that we have the developer participating on this list, which is a highly valuable thing in itself.  It is also quite remarkable, if he had no prior involvement with XyWrite.

Were you saying that this is really a solution just for 64-bit rigs ?  Then I could use it on the 64-bit Win 7 or 8.1 boxes, but not on one that has 32-bit Win 7 ?  I presume you are using the U2 library within this environment -- and successfully ?  Is the printing situation with LFN any better than under VDosXy, or much the same ?

 For 64-bit 
Windows machines, however, I think most users would be better off 
running a VDM (vDos-lfn being the gold standard for XyWrite), or 
setting up 32-bit Windows in a virtual machine.
