Not DOS _alone._ I installed my (almost never used) XyWin 2.12 a long time ago
under Win 3.x in the real DOS partition. That directory still exists, so I
should have all of the necessary files already unpacked there. I'm not sure
what the pack / unpack method was that XyWin used, but it shouldn't be anything
too exotic. (The familiar .CAB format used by WIN can be a pain to deal with,
though, outside of the relevant installer.) Likely it was either a util.
included on the XyWin install diskettes, or some standard WIN util. of that
era.
