Re: Revised installer for XyWin

[David Garwood <dbgarwood@xxxxxxxxx>]

I tried the revised installer and it seems to work perfectly. Installed 
it right over my existing install.  The help files, speller and 
thesaurus all work as they should and it retained all my previous 
settings,such as the degree sign etc. in a modified keyboard file.  I 
think it's ready to go live!  Good work Ed.
