Re: XYWRITE digest 1236

Patricia,

I'm _guessing_ here: you said you _copied_ XyClunk back to your repartitioned D.
I.e., you didn't _install_ XyClunk. Perhaps the missing DLL in question was placed
there by the original install program (bad as it was) and is now missing due to
repartitioning?

Do yourself a favor. Remove all traces of That Hideous Program from thy hard drive
and get Nota Bene for Windows, a program that still lives and breathes.

      Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,"
