Re: Xy on Mac revisited

Also, finally, there is another option, CrossOver Mac, which enables users to run their favorite windows app without having to have Windows. (When i first heard of them, i emailed them and asked if a Dos program (XY) would run under their program. They said that they thought it should as they were supporting the Windows API in their program.
If this is the same outfit that makes CrossOver Office (for Linux), I
don't think so. I tried to run Xy on that on Linux, and no go. For an
interesting reason: CrossOver Office starts out by installing your
Windows app. So it wants an install routine--typically, SETUP.EXE. Xy
has no such thing, and if you point CrossOver Office at EDITOR.EXE, it
has no idea what to do.
