Re: XyWin Unresponsive

[Peter Cassidy pcassidy@xxxxxxxx]

Patricia,

Tried installing it a bunch of times on this machine - literally a plain
vanilla IBM desktop running XP and it just never gets close to booting.
Xy4 is fine but not having some kind of cut and paste made it only
useful for authoring, not necessarily for editing down a piece from a
lot of disparate sources, increasingly my work profile as a development
manager.


Thought I had this going - now when I CLIPW to load something into the
Windows clip board XY4 shouts at me "Customization file requires a file
label". Ah, what is that supposed to mean?


Is there an incantation I need to know about?
