Re: Tool for vDos(-lfn)

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Carl,

I tried this out, with mixed results. It seems that I have to use
dos/nv/x/z first and that I have to be logged into the vdos-lfn directory.
Then it opens another instance of XyWrite (rather than quitting and
relaunching the current one).


It couldn't find consola.ttf even though it's in c:\dropbox\vdos-lfn\fonts\
