Re: Staying with XP after April 8 2014 (was Win 7 vs Win 8)

No, I just tried non-Tame Xy on my Win 7 32 bit and the cursor movement is
still a little jerky for keys 75 and 77 (but, strangely, not for the same
CL and CR assigned to 101 and 103).


The 100% CPU usage problem, however, doesn't exist for Win 7 32.

I would add that Tame, which can be a headache, gives you a much more
beautiful display, including real bold, italics, strikethrough, and
underline. On which, see:

That shows a 43-row version. You can also drag the window to change its
width and/or height.
