Re: XY4 in Win7-64



>XY4 now appears in a fixed-size window that I am going to try to tweak, but it's perfectly readable.

The best way of getting great DOS windows is to install Windows 3.1 and to use Windows 3.1 DOS
boxes. They are the most compatible DOS boxes I have seen, and performance is better under Windows
3.1 DOS boxes than under plain VPC DOS. For example, when I run a data-intensive Clipper application
under a DOS box the run time is cut in half.

Advanced tip: By using a bitmap font editor you can change the DOSAPP.FON, which is used by the DOS
boxes. By tweaking DOSAPP.INI you can change the way Windows 3.1 positions DOS boxes.
