Re: W2K display settings

Great (as regards the display) !

The best method is to use W2K DOS programs in the W2K realm, and to just
copy files from guest system to host system. If you want to cross the
border, there will be problems, because Xy is not aware of modern file
systems. On the other hand, doing some work across borders with older
W2K Windows programs is quite possible. You could try to make a folder
with files that conform strictly to the DOS file naming conventions (8
chrs filename + 3 extension). That way I could issue the following
commands with success:

x = change to host shared folder X
dir
cd FILES
dir
etc.
But Xy did not see long filenames or subfolders with long names.
