Subject: Re: Off topic question. I have had only one problem running Xywrite 4 on Xp at the command prompt
in full screen, and that is that when I go into Xy I get a half screen window
which I cure by alt w and then x for maximize. My experience may not
relevant to others since I never use the equivalent of wysiwyg and I always
convert my documents to wordperfect 5.1 to print. I have had no problems under
Xp converting from Xywrite to Word Perfect using Word for Word and thereafter no
problem printing in Word Perfect 5.1. Since I only use Xywrite for
writing and not for printing and wordperfect only for printing and not for
writing then only in a single font -namely new times roman - I may be
avoiding many of the problems that others are experiencing who are pushing their
dos word processors to the maximum under xp. Furthermore in the 15 years
that I have been using Nota Bene and then Xywrite 4 I have always run the
screen as light green on a dark background because
the Federal Aviation Authority had determined that for
controllers that or amber on dark were the easiest on the eyes for people using
computer monitors. Given this caveat my satisfaction with the
screen may have no relevancy for others.
As to putting xywrite on a new computer I did not experience any
difficulties even when transferring xywrite to an xp computer from either a dos
or a windows 98se pc. I have used my fastlynx cable and simply copied from
my source pc to my target pc on several occasions and recently when I was
transferring from a pc with a network card to another pc with a network card I
also simply copied from one pc to the other over the network cable. When I
was too lazy to carry the target pc to the room where the source pc was,
I used my laptop as an intermediary, copying to the laptop from the
source pc and then moving the laptop to the other room and copying from the
laptop to the target pc. Of course with those portable memory sticks,
there is probably no need to bother with cables or a laptop. In any
event the important thing is simply to copy files from
a source drive to a target drive by the easiest
means possible and to not try to install from the original
diskettes.

p.s. It is my understanding that a laplink cable or pc
anywhere cable will perform the same function as a fastlynx
cable.
