Title: RE: error with dict.spl





I don't if it's the same for XyWin, but if it were Xy3 or 4 I would say check to be sure the "PATH" to the XyWin directory is entered. In Win2K it's a System Properties -> Environment entry...as opposed to entering it in Autoexec.bat (or Config.sys...I forget which).

Subject: error with dict.spl




I'm running XyWin 4.13 on a Sony laptop with Win2000, and on a Sony

desktop with Win98SE. The laptop is new, the desktop I recently wiped

and reinstalled.


I reinstalled XyWin by copying the XyWin directory from my backups, as

I always had before.


Now when I go to use the Microlytics dictionary (e.g. by asking it to

spellcheck a document) I get an error "file not found dict.spl".


I'm loading xwstart.int with the line

     LOAD C:\Xw\dict.spl;*;

where  is the function BX

and that also gives me an error "Customization file requires a file

label", which disappears if I comment out that line.


I get the same error if I try to load dict.spl from the command line.


I'm rather puzzled by this behavior, as I never had this problem

before. I've used exactly the same setup on the Win98SE computer

before with no problems, and I've used XyWin on other computers with

win2000.


I found nothing in the archives about this problem (but perhaps I was

searching for the wrong keywords). Any suggestions?


thanks!
