Re: Migrate to xy4

On Morris Krok's attempt to install XY 4.016 with one disk
defective:

If your set of disks is defective, that is a good reason to get
4.017. You should get with it the manuals, which outline the many
differences between it and v. 3.

In XY4, each of the basic configuration files (incl. the saveget
file) begins with a header that identifies it. You can then load
them all with the LOAD command, which recognizes the type.

Chances that you will find XY4 a great improvement, but you will
need the manuals to take advantage of it.

Cheers,
