Hi Joe,

Thanks for the 2 cents - Great posting Russ. I too am one of the ones
on the list who uses Xy on a MAC. I am using VPC 6 and IBM DOS 7.0. I
am operating Xy on my PowerBook Titanium G4 and the really cool thing
is that you can cut and paste between Mac programs and Xy just by
point and click. It's just unbelievable.

Joe,
How are you doing that? I can't seem to get that to work for me? What are you doing on the XY side? Can you take pieces of text and paste them back and forth from XY?

Maybe i'm doing something wrong!
I actually got Xy running wonderfully on a $20 PowerBook 100 laptop via SoftPC emulating a 286MHz PC, proving as you stated, you don't have to go with the most expensive MAC out there to run XY in a DOS box. I haven't tried to operate on my PowerBook Lombard G3 which is using OS 9.2 but that may be my next experiment.

That ought to work as my Pismo is the later version of the Lombard.
This has been my experience as well.

Great to hear from you!

Thanks

Russ
