Re: missed the trapeze

I don't know if this has any bearing, but someone at Technology Group
taught me to overcome a problem I was having reinstalling XyWrite for
Windows from my set of four 3.5" floppies by proceeding thus:
I created a temporary empty subdirectory on my hard drive and copies the
disks into that subdirectory, IN REVERSE ORDER, i.e. I copied disk four in
first, then disk three, etc.
At some time in that process -- as I am copying each disk in, if memory
serves --- I am asked if I want to re-number the disk, and I tell the
system "yes."
Then I log to the subdirectory and install XyWrite for Windows (I don't
remember if the command is "Install" or "Setup") from there, telling the
installation program where I want XyWrite to live (NOT the one I have
copied the program disks into).
That was all there was to it. I have had to do it a number of times, over
the years. No further problems.
Incidentally, I do not have to do anything about either my DVD drive, or my
5-disk "Juke box" CD drive. My 3.5' floppy drive is Drive A, and the
system looks at that, first.

Good luck.
