As to customizing Linux for Xy4, Arthur Steinberg had sent the following
message to the list on April 22, 1999 under the subject "xydos under linux:
permissions". Perhaps this can help. (I myself have yet to make the foray
into Linux and so can't vouch for his suggestion.)

for those of you interested in trying xydos under linux i am sending
you a linux file you ought to know about. it is called /etc/fstab and
governs some of the parameters of various devices on your computer.

my xywrite and its files are all on the /win partition of my computer (i
kept
it as a dual boot system). but i want access to xywrite and those
files when i login to my networked computer under linux, therefore the
designation on the /dev/hda1 line. the 'umask=000' is the critical
part to make xy and these files accessible.



/dev/hda5		/		ext2  defaults		1 1
/dev/hda3		swap		swap  defaults		0 0
/dev/fd0		/floppy		msdos  noauto,user		0 0
/dev/cdrom		/cdrom		iso9660 noauto,ro,user		0 0
none			/proc      proc  defaults		0 0
/dev/hda1		/win		vfat	defaults,user,umask=000	0 0
/dev/hda2		/old		ext2	defaults		0 0


hope this helps.
