RE: XyWrite on an old laptop?

["Steve Crutchfield" SCRUTCH@xxxxxxxx]

Heck, I used to run XyWrite III on a PCjr with one 5.25 floppy drive.

To Jim Boris....

Check out the XyWWWeb site (or whatever it's called, I forget at the
moment). They have a link to something called "XyLite", which gives
you a bare-bones version of XyWrite suitable to use on
"capability-constrained" computers.

Another tip: if you can live without some of the ancillary files, you
can get a pretty compact implementation of XyWrite by simply deleting
the unnecessary files. If you don't need the Help files, you can
delete them and save 1 meg of disk space. Ditto for the import/export
filters. Just be sure you tweak your settings.dfl and startup.int
files to remove references to deleted files.

XyWrite will cook on that machine. I used to run it on a 286 portable
and it was great!

Hi!

I'm going to be getting an old laptop to use just for word processing
on
the road. It's a 386 with 1 meg of RAM. On my desktop, I've been using
WordPerfect 6.2 for DOS, but I just know that will run too slow on the
laptop. How about XyWrite? Do any of you use it on a similar machine?
Is
the performance acceptable?

Thanks!
