Msg: Re: vDos-lfn for XyWrite 1.53 installer available for download

Hi all,

Two points I want to make regarding the 1.53 installer:

1. In order for font styles such as bold, italic, underlined (and their combinations) to be displayed visually in XyWrite, the directive "WP = XY" must be set in the config file. Directives like BOLDFONT, ITALFONT and BOITFONT will only take effect in XyWrite if WP = XY is also set.

2. There are also other improvements in the latest vDos-lfn included with the 1.53 installer besides those already mentioned by Kari. For example, comments in config.txt can now start with "#" instead of "REM". "#" will work in command line too to mark comments, e.g. "vDos-lfn /set #Turn on window frame;frame=on". Some other features such as the keyboard speed control feature are improved in this version too.

Hello all,

I have tried to keep up with all the new features:

- This minor update is based on vDos-lfn 2015.11.01 (build 2016.08.02)
by Wengier Wu which supports new command-line parameters and has support
for actual bold and italic fonts. There are new config.txt settings for
fonts: BOLDFONT, ITALFONT, and BOITFONT. Equally, the setting that used
to be called AUTOHIDE is now AUHIDEMS which stands for AUto HIDE MouSe.

- Also included is the VDL add-on by Carl Distefano which makes use of
the new command-line parameters with further options for starting
vDos-lfn instances. See VDL.TXT for details.

- From version 1.53 onwards you can automatically restore your
config.txt settings as well as some autoexec.txt settings when updating
the installation on top of a previous version. Please note that this
feature does not run the first time you run the 1.53 installer as the
installer has to first install a Restore settings compatible config.txt
file. See the new config.txt file and the manual for details.

And hopefully soon also from mirror sites.
