RE: XyWrite in full screen mode on Win7 32 bit

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Oh, yes, I see. I'm used to Tame, which does allow
that.

It might or might not be worth giving TameDOS a whirl. Installation takes
about 5 minutes.

Unfortunately, the window is about
1/6 of the screen area and I cannot expand the window.  Restoring
updoes not change the window size.

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Use the "windowed" version and
make it take up as much of the screen as you like. (Otherwise, I think
the issue is hardware-determined.)


Although my company long since abandoned XyWrite to my great
disappointment, very infrequently I need to research old XyWrite
files.  Today was one of those days.  Unfortunately, my
computer operates on Win7 (32 bit), which is not all that friendly to
XyWrite.  I somehow figured out a while back how to get it to run in
a small window on the screen, but it cannot be opened up to full
screen.  When I try to open it up using  enter, I get an
error message that says This system does not support full screen
mode.

Is there anything I can do about that or am I stuck?
