RE: XyWin Unresponsive

The install routine tries to read all available drives; if it can't read one
it stops. Putting any old CD in that drive may solve that problem. But it
won't solve the problem of failure to boot, which appears to be
hardware-related. Patricia Godfrey was, I believe, collecting a database of
BIOSes to track down the problem but didn't get very far.

On the other hand, you can copy to the Windows clipboard by using the clipw
routine from the U2 files, available at:

Xymaestras and Xymasters,

I've been merrily Xying along with Xy4 for some time after Xywin refused
to boot years ago now - but this quarter I have a project in which
copying with quick CNTRL-C in Xywrite and pasting with CNTRL-V in Word
(forgive me) would be really useful. Xywin is still dead and I can't get
a fresh reinstall to take. The install routine complains that drives D,
E, F, G, H, I and J (I have a multimedia/multimemorystick reader that
reports out a number of logically-assigned drives; D is the CD-ROM
drive) are unavailable or otherwise undesirable.

What's a prodigal WinXyer to do?
