RE: XY4 can not find drive

["Ambos, Paul" PAMBOS@xxxxxxxx]

It's not part of XyWrite but rather the operating system. If you are in
Windows 95 or later, the simplest procedure is to open Windows Explorer
(windows-key+e or go through the program menus), get a display that includes
the x folder on the d: drive, and then right-click on the folder icon. This
opens a little menu, from which you left-click on "Properties". This opens
another window that lists "Attributes" at the bottom. If the box next to
"Archive" is checked, left-click it to get rid of the check, then left-click
on "OK".

Or from DOS, enter the command "attrib d:\x"; if it lists an "A" to the left
of the pathname, then enter "attrib -A d:\x" to clear it.

I don't recall the Win 3.1 method, but the DOS one should work there.

Good luck!
