Re: XyWrite under Linux (possibly)

Hi Harry,

I know "it's on the back burner" has been the operative phrase here, but if and when there is positive news re that Xy5 spinoff project, some of us will still be interested in the news.

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:
