Well, yes and no. TTG used Novell DOS, not Microsludge, and Novell had a
DOS Protected Mode ability, which I'm pretty sure the XyWrite install
routine made use of. Never had any trouble installing under Novell DOS 7;
lots of grief under M$ 6.x. My recollection is that MemMaker was the
killer. Moot now.
