Re: XyWrite & Windows 2000

["mike shupp" mikeshupp@xxxxxxxx]

XyWrite probably is having problems with a FAT-32 (either VFAT or
NTFS) file system. You might set up a small FAT-16 playpen (any
disk partition of under 1/2 GByte will be formatted this way by
Windows 98 automatically, and if it isn't automatic under W2000
you should be able to specify it). Keep your XyWrite here and it
ought to be able to work with files and directories on this
partition.

Ditto for some games and Win-3.1 applications. Of course, you
could use a non-VFAT file system on a larger partition, but you'd
be wasting a huge amount of disk space.

My apologies if this question has been asked and answered before (I just
joined

the list):

I am trying to use XyWrite on a (new) computer with Windows 2000 on it. So
far

I have encounterd two problems:
 - when running XyWrite in a window, it runs very slowly: pressing a key
and

holding it down results in a delayed response, and programs seem to run very
slowly.
 - the dir command doesn't work for directories other than the default
directory

(dir \xxx reports that \xxx has no files, even if it has some)
