Patricia:

 Despite the warnings about bugginess etc., I have been using XyWin for about
seven years with no problems, first on Win95 (unwisely, I discarded Xy3 at the
time). My current system is 98SE. Four years ago a tech at the late
Technology Group helped me install XyWin on the 98SE by having me create (by phone) a
new folder labled xwt, which I keep on my hard drive and on a zip disk along
with the original xw folder. Reinstallation after a system crash worked with
no difficulty using the original floppies and xwt.
 Before too long I will be getting a computer with XP. The questions
below are probably so fundamental that most in this group know the answers. I
include the list because a few may be as computer-illiterate as I am. So....
Two questions for installing XyWin:
  1. Is the same procedure used on 98SE the right one to use with XP --
i.e., copy xwt into XP, then install with floppies?
  2. If not, would I be better off asking you for a CD copy of your XyWin
folder? If #1 is likely to work, I'd rather not put you to the trouble of #2.
