xy/Win and Winfax Lite (2)



I must apologize to the list for my idiotic question regarding
PostScript fonts in Xy/Win with an old Winfax Lite driver.
I had assumed that there was something wrong because I
*was* able to print PostScript fonts from Quark 3.32. A product
manager at Adobe explained to me that my ability to print
PS fonts from Quark to this elderly driver was simply an
unintentional piece of insanity on Quark's part. In fact, the
Winfax Lite driver should not be able to print or display PS
fonts with any program. For instance, it does not do so in
WordPad. The solution is to get an updated driver. My
problem has nothing to do with XyWrite/Win.

	This gives me the chance to pose a more exotic question:
under Windows 95, I use the kernel toys to remap the caps lock
key to alt, the control key to caps lock, and the alt key to control.
That is all very well for Windows 95 -- it works perfectly well with
Xy 3,4 and Win. But it does not work on a Mac using Virtual PC to
run DOS and Win95 applications. It appears that the Mac's caps lock
key is very hard to remap. Does anyone know anything about this?
It is said that the new CHRP Mac-compatibles coming from
Motorola and others will accept PC keyboards, so perhaps this
problem will be overcome.
