Re: Windows 98 compatibility

[Orlay Edward Plummer Orlay.Plummer@xxxxxxxx]

Susan,

Windows 98 is not a factor in the request to login. A friend copied a
Xywrite 4.017 for DOS to his computer that runs Windows 98. No problems.
It was a lot more stable than XyWin. The startup.int has a login command
that logs him in using a log file in the Xywrite directory. For example,
in my setup, the startup.int includes the line login oep. The Xywrite4
directory has the login file 'oep.log'. You may be missing either the
login command or the login file.
