Re: Getting the right W2K version

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

I haven't tried Parallels with Win2K, but it works beautifully with
Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro.


Nota Bene (latest beta) runs very smoothly, and when I copied my standard
XyWrite 4 directory into its virtual drive C, that ran pretty much as
expected. It's been so long since I printed from Xy4, though, that I can't
remember all the ins and outs.  Parallels makes any printer connected to
the Mac available as though it were a Windows printer, but it apparently
doesn't make this immediately available to a DOS window.


Try (using your own path in place of mine):

  net use lpt1 \\Posy\HP4050
