XyWrite & Windows 2000

["Martin J. Osborne" osborne@xxxxxxxx]

My apologies if this question has been asked and answered before (I just joined
the list):

I am trying to use XyWrite on a (new) computer with Windows 2000 on it. So far
I have encounterd two problems:
 - when running XyWrite in a window, it runs very slowly: pressing a key and
holding it down results in a delayed response, and programs seem to run very
slowly.
 - the dir command doesn't work for directories other than the default directory
(dir \xxx reports that \xxx has no files, even if it has some)

Is it possible to run XyWrite successfully on W2000, or is the solution to
revert to W98 or something like that?

(If Nota Bene is an alternative, is it fully compatible with all XyWrite
programs? I've been using XyWrite for 18 years, and have a huge library of
programs I don't want to re-write.....)

Thanks!!
