I beg the indulgence of this list for what will doubtless seem an uninformed question.
I use XyWrite 3.54 on DOS, and have had no (significant) problem running it on Vista or Window 7 32 bit.
I will not try Windows 8 given that I don't want to do the special things the list has been exchanging information about.
But can anybody reassure me (or warn me) about whether I can run XyW 3.54 for DOS under Window 7 *64bit*--with what's called Windows 7 XP mode?
(I am contemplating getting a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, and it comes only with 64bit versions of Win 7 or Win 8.)
Ever so many thanks for any advice anybody can offer.

Bill,
There are at least these options:
1) Win 8, run XP in Hyper V and use it to run Xy
2) downgrade to Win 7, disable Virtual PC that comes with Win 7 and install Virtual PC 2007
3) Win 8, and install XP in Hyper-V and install Virtual PC 2007 in the virtual XP. This involves double virtualization and jumping through hoops.
4) Switch to NB win or another editor depending on your needs.
