It's not that Pre-6 is flakey--it reliably crashes NTVDM. And taking out
the C:\Xy\XyWrite.app.tam from 6.0 didn't solve it. I'm trying pre-7 now.
It has a bug re holding down the repeating ctrl-v, ctrl-j, etc. that I use
for cursor control. But if it doesn't crash NTVDM, I can probably change
the .KBD file to get around that issue.
(I have Pre7 working -- with a few artifacts -- on a ThinkPad T41 and two Dell boxes.) I also noticed that TAME leave NTVDM running after you exit XY. Does this whether you start both TAME and XY from a .bat or from a discreet Autoexex.xx file invoked in the .pif. Notabene also leaves NTVDM running after I quit. [XY does not.] This is a bit of pain if you leave your computer on all the time and invoke the standby option in power settings. When I wake the machine up, I come back to a message that says the computer could not shut NTVDM down. What all this adds up to is beyond me.
Hmm, with Pre-7, I have only the one NTVDM running. I'll now quit Tame-Xy
and see if it goes away. Yes, it does. So I'm going to see if leaving it
running crashes NTVDM (as pre-6 does).
