Re: Portable Xy4 made easy

[Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxx]

Oops, had to correct a window-handling error in PORTABLE.PM that
surfaces under certain conditions. You should definitely discard
earlier versions and use the new one, dated 7/2/12. As before, the
ZIP download is here:

http://users.datarealm.com/xywwweb/portable.zip

U2 users should DECODE again below. Sorry for the inconvenience.

{<}GLa{>}[cr|lf]PORTABLE.PM for XyWrite 4 - C.L.Distefano rev
{046}7/2/12[cr|lf]Purpose: Create path-free versions of STARTUP.I
NT and SETTINGS.DFL, enabling a "portable" XyWrite setup that
 can be copied to any directory without the need to modify pa
th statements in these two key files.[cr|lf][cr|lf]Usage[cr|l
f]-----[cr|lf]RUN PORTABLE.PM[cr|lf]Two (2) available{032}
windows are required.[cr|lf][cr|lf]How It Works[cr|lf]-------
-----[cr|lf]PORTABLE.PM safely generates personalized replace
ments for your STARTUP.INT and SETTINGS.DFL files, based on t
he settings in effect when you run PORTABLE.PM. These new fil
es are called PORTABL1.INT and PORTABL1.DFL. Your existing fi
les are NOT modified.[cr|lf][cr|lf]Before using the new files
, be sure to BACK UP your existing STARTUP.INT and SETTINGS.D
FL. (The first time you run PORTABLE.PM, they are automatical
ly backed up to START_BK.INT and SETTI_BK.DFL.) When you're r
eady to "go portable", copy PORTABL1.INT to STARTUP.INT and P
ORTABL1.DFL to SETTINGS.DFL, overwriting the existing files;{032}
then quit and restart XyWrite. [cr|lf][cr|lf]- - - - -[cr|lf]
