Fraid so. Both U2 routines worked OK on my laptop (Acer, running Vista, and
one of the best systems I ever owned), on which I had carefully set up Xy. But
the machine was too large and heavy for what I needed (travel and taking notes
at the library), so when much cheaper and lighter Netbooks came out, I got one
and. gave the laptop to my niece. I had run Xy (and dBase 5 for DOS) off an SD
card, treating it as a mini hard drive, on the laptop, and thought I could just
swap the SD card. But the Netbook runs XP, which antedates SD cards, and would
get terminally confused, protesting that it was running out of memory and had to
write to the drive. So I moved Xy and dBase to c:\DOSApps. But by that time I
had been doing little but e-mail and accounting for a year and a half, and
forgot about U2Utils. TYP and Xy2pdf would create a .file, but I had to call it
in GSView and convert to pdf. No big deal, but I knew Robert's code had
worked before and I must be doing something wrong. I finally figured it
out.
