Re: mixing dos and windows with xywrite



Actually, I think the goal really *is* to load Win from XyWrite. XyWrite lets
you shell out to DOS via the command line, and there's theoretically no
reason you couldn't have Xy running as a purely DOS program and then issue
the Windows startup command with something like "do win". Win 98 may have
quirks that prevent it, or it may require too much residual lower memory, or
something else. The whole thing is an intriguing notion for those who work
99% in XyDOS - worth pursuing anyway.

Other alternative: do it bass-ackwards anyway, launching a minimally
configured Win98 and then XyDOS. With the memory bloat in most machines, it
may not make a difference to have Win working "in the background."

Keep us posted on your progress.
