That can work -- provided that {main_directory}\PRINTER is added to the
DOS path. Otherwise, as you say, if the user changes the default
directory, Editor will not be able to find the printer files.
I included the three printer files in the topmost directory because a
XyWrite setup without any printer files in the main program directory
looks oddly incomplete to me -- especially if printer files are listed
in the PP: table in SETTINGS.DFL (which is usual). It has the added
advantage that the user only has to add a single directory to the DOS
path -- the one that contains Editor.exe -- in order to get started.
But maybe these considerations don't apply in your case; you can do
what you like if the DOS path (... B:\Xy4U2;B:\Xy4U2\PRINTER; ...) is
hard-coded in your app.
