Re: XyWrite III plus and Y2K



≪ Is there anything I need to do to make [Xywrite III plus,
circa the 1980's] Y2K ready, or I just need to make sure my
BIOS, and DOS 6.x program is fixed. ≫ --ArtL7@xxxxxxxx

Hi, Art. Not to worry. All you seem to need are a
y2k-compliant BIOS and DOS. Mine are (Compaq and DR DOS 7),
and with my system date set ahead xyW 3.57 follows merrily
along in both dir lists and the today command. Only way v3
shows its age as I use it is its inability to comprehend
that a logical partition can be bigger than 33 megs.

≪ (and where can I go to learn about fixing the DOS
environment?) ≫

Search WWW? If you have better things to do with your
time and your dos is noncompliant, consider DR DOS
