I've been using Xy4 under OS/2 for a couple of years now, and I haven't
had those problems. First thing I'd suggest is check the default DOS
memory settings in the OS/2 settings notebook for your Xy4 object and make
sure it gives the program enough of the right kind of memory. I don't
know whether Xy4 wants expanded or extended memory and how much of each it
uses, but I'd check that out in the XyWrite documentation and then make
sure that OS/2 is giving XyWrite the kind and quantity of memory it wants
to have.
