Excuse me, but it is not clear, at least to me, precisely what is going on here.
Is the complete installation of this blended XyWrite in a directory called
xy4.018? (With the period? That may not be legal in dos. I frankly don't
remember.) Your use of the phrase "everything else" implies otherwise but I see
no indication this is so. Perhaps something got garbled in transmission, though,
because I see no closing parens. I am quoting in full what I received, just in
case something you intended to say didn't get received at this end. For this I
apologize both to you and the list.

Anyway: Have you put this directory in your path statement?
