Re: XyWin

[Kari Eveli lexitec@xxxxxxxx]

Hello,

You can use it under Windows 7 by installing the Win 3.1 runtime
solution by Edward Mendelson. I had my XyWin in VirtualPC, and I just
copied the installation (XW and btfonts folders) to Win31dosbox C-DRIVE
and created a program group and program item in Presentation Manager,
and added XW path to windows.bat (Win31dosbox substitute of
autoexec.bat). As you see, the program is not dead, it runs very well
under this environment. You could also run it under VirtualBox W2K, but
Edward's solution is more straightforward and gives you instant access
to the files from the Win 7 side.

Go to: http://www.columbia.edu/%7Eem36/win31dosbox.html
for setup instructions.
