Re: XyWin-specific installation instructions/package



Edward,
I know that this is a wider solution than just XyWin. gdi-test.zip is the PS font version you made of gdi.exe16. XyWin needs start.exe as "command.com" to work out of the box. And as you may have noticed, there is something missing in this list, namely the glue that holds the XyWin printing solution together (3_XW_fixes.txt: the contents of which are as follows (as of now):
XW.KBD with TYF ,...\PDF-XW.PS
XWSTART.INT with load XW.KBD
XWUIF.UIF with device=Generic Color).
I could try to figure out a set of instructions/package for XyWin if you approve of this plan.
