RE: XyWrite for Windows

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

On the XyWin problems, I seem to recall there was, believe
it or not, a problem having to do with CD ROM drives either needing to be
attached or needing not to be attached. If that's correct, it's not due
to XP. Try doing the same install with a) no CD drive attached and b)
with a CD drive attached and a valid disk of some kind in it. Couldn't
hurt.

More likely, I suspect, the problem
was some other software

installation rather than an XP update.  Rather than spend more

time trying to track the issue down, I reverted to the DOS

version of XyWrite, mostly losing Windows fonts, which wasn't a

big problem for my use of the program.

I have tried setting the affinity to only one processor (instead

of four),

running XWas W2k, running it as W95, etc. Just won't start. So an

uploaded

instance would be a good test. But why did it run on W2K? And if

it worked

on Paul's machine then stopped, could an XP "update" have had
an

unintended

consequence?
