Re: XyWrite under Linux (possibly)

Thanks for the idea and instructions. I don't have superuser privileges, but I'm hoping my hoster will install dosemu2 for me.

It would be wonderful to be able to run XyWrite under Linux. I think that would open up XPL programs to use by people who don't have XyWrite.

Occasionally the possibility of running XyWrite in Linux comes up in this mailing list. I haven’t tested XyWrite in the dosemu2 DOS emulator for Linux, but WordPerfect for DOS runs extremely well under it. There seems to be no reason why XyWrite shouldn’t work also. A quick guide is here:
