Re: install from IMG files

[Kari Eveli <lexitec@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Myron,
There is indeed a simple solution. Download the XyWrite 4 Service Pack 
(https://www.lexitec.fi/xywrite/vDosPlus503_SP_Setup.zip). Run the 
installer. Select the code page (CP437 US or CP850 Latin-1) and other 
options you want. You will get a working installation. Just doubleclick 
the icon on your desktop after installation.

Best regards,
