Re: Xy-significant



Amusingly, I did send the wrong image.

Will send correct one.

Harry, I think you sent wrong image. I am curious about your iPad setup. Just ordered keyboard for it.

What I have done is to run Xy on my desktop remotely from an iPad. Easiest installation conceivable. A little awkward for entering shifted keystates, as I recall, unless you are using a keyboard with the tablet.

Just learned I can do it on my iPhone, too. Amazing. See attached images, done with the phone held in landscape mode. I can zoom in or out by the usual pinching method.

Sadly the iDos option for the iPad/iPhone has no option to "add a game"-- so not usable for XyWrite. I wish someone would make a XyWrite "game" playable on my so far fairly useless and ridiculously expensive iPad Air 2.

There are already DOS emulators for Android.

aDosBox is free, JPC x86 is free, DosBox Turbo is paid. The trick is to get XY in a place where the DOS emulator can find it.

Whether you are running Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Android, OS X, or Apple's iOS, you can still play those classic DOS games.

I managed to get the XY4 opening screen on aDosBox but didn't have time to move beyond that. It looked like I had  to figure out keyboard and screen display configurations. A project for another time, since I am not particularly tablet oriented. But we don't have to wait for new hardware. It's here.

signify that we'll be able to use XyWrite on our smartphones and tablets?

Do pray tell.
