No, there's no rigor in the testing or revision of the program. It's
a one-man operation. A number of XyWriters have tinkered with the
thing across the years. It's the best third-party app we've found to
resolve keyboard and screen handling issues with XY and XP. I have
not run XY on Vista so I don't know how it does there. And, frankly,
I'm using the program less and less as Note Bene gets slowly,
painfully better. At all events, Harry has the most experience
tinkering with TAMEDOS and I can certainly throw in my two cents if
you can't get it to work. I'm attaching a copy of the main
Xywrite/tame settings file which you should already have in \Tame
5.1\Settings. It's XYWRite.app.tam, which I think is created the
first time you run TAMESDOS. The changes I made in this file work
with 5.1 pre 7. You might rename your XYWRite.app.tam and run mine
to see if it works. I'm on an old DELL XP SP3 box.
