RE: Can I get full screen in windows 7 32 bit



Thanks, Carl! I installed DOSBOX and I'm now enjoying xywrite, 25 years
later! Now to figure out how to get a full screen display... Any tips?

You're probably running a 64-bit version of Win 7, in which case
you'll need to install a virtual DOS. If you are running Win 7
Professional or Ultimate (not Home), you can download Windows XP
Mode, a version of Windows XP that runs under Win 7. Otherwise,
you should look into DOSBox; in fact, you may want to check it out
in any case. If you have 32-bit Win 7, you don't need to do
anything; XyWrite will run under it.

Full disclosure: I have no direct experience with any of these
programs. I'm still running Win XP.
