Same here, though on only 3 different machines. I have done 6 separate installs
of 2 different versions of OS/2 and *never* had a hitch. The last install, just to
see if it would work, was on a 6 year old 386sx16 with only 4MB RAM. The
install was smooth as silk and to my amazement OS/2 Warp works in only 4MB.
XyWrite III+ flies, as usual, and so does GeoWorks Ensemble, both running in DOS VDMs.

On the XyWin install problems: I got the upgrade to 4.12 and had no problems
installing on my OS/2 machine. A colleague, for whom we had bought a new
copy, could *not* get it to install on his Windows machine! There is definitely
something wrong with the Xy installer.

Cheers,
John G
