Re: XYWRITE DEVEL
Matt,
The point of running an application under windows as a
windows application is that it gets access to Windows resources
-- the fonts and printer drivers; the memory manager; the screen
drivers; the clipboard; so on and so forth.
You can access some of that from DOS apps under windows,
but not nearly so well.
I wouldn't mind an app that could use Windows resources
generally but had access to the crisp quick DOS character-mode
screen. GUI screens are cool for a lot of things, but they're
slow, too, and burdensome when all I want to do is write.
