RE: Xywrite4 on Android

Aloha, Bob.

Thanks for this info. I've never heard of Magic Dosbox. That app is not on iPhone. But this could be
a compelling reason to go Android.

Welcome to the list.

Aloha,

I'm new on this list, and found just a few posts about running on Android.

I can say that Xywrite4 runs to near perfection with the Magic Dosbox app, which costs a few
dollars. (Lotus Agenda, Grandview 2, etc., all run just as well). Of course, I'm not including
printing in this discussion, but there should be a way to print to file and get that to a printer---
haven't tried it yet.

I run on a tablet (Asus ZenPad 3s 10 Z500M) but it also works on my Pixel 1 phone (though too small
a display for my old eyes).

It is best to have a bluetooth keyboard, one that is not crippled or missing keys like ESC, and the
input method that works best for me is Gboard (which seems to handle physical keyboards well).
Lacking a physical keyboard, Magic Dosbox has a popup keyboard of its own that is fully functional
if a bit slow to use.

Surprising how useful Xywrite is compared to native Android apps. Or maybe not so surprising.
