Re: XyWin and Win2000

Nick (love your last name!!)
I tried to install XyWin to Windows 2000, and, since I am not very familiar
with Win2000, found a way to get to DOS, but it seems almost like (and
actually probably is) an accessory and not a stable "program" so to
speak.  I actually dislike using XyWrite through Windows, but have no
choice with some of the work I do. I always feel like I'm kind of "getting
away" with something when I use Xywrite in DOS. Anyway, I know when I
installed XyWin on my W98 and WME OS, I was able - eventually! - to get
Microsoft to cooperate. W2000, seems like the Berlin wall!!!  Access to
MS-DOS seems to have virtually disappeared. Installing from four floppies,
do I reboot the computer in safe mode? and then install from "run" ?

Am I making sense?

Thanks!
Mimi
P.S. Glad to know though that some are actually up and using Xywrite in
W2000. I have hope.
