Re Downloading XyWrite

[Patricia M Godfrey pmgodfrey@xxxxxxxx]

Well, I have to respectfully differ--but only in degree--with Leslie.
XyWin is certainly buggy, and I don't use it as anything more than a
printing engine (so as to take advantage of TrueType fonts), but I do not
find that, under Win 9x, it is all that slow (under 3.1, yes;
excruciatingly so). If fact, it loads far faster than such bloatware as
WordImperfect and Weird.

As for "installing" it, yes, don't try: copy the files if you have the
expanded ones. If all you have are what came on the original disks (which
were in some sort of compressed format and required an installation
routine to expand them), you'll need a machine with Win 3.1 on it to
install, then copy the resulting directory (by network, direct cable
connection, or ZIP or CD-R disks) to the machine you want to run it on.
N.B. that XyWin, unlike even most Win 3.1 apps, does NOT leave bits and
pieces of itself all over the system; everything is in the XyWin
directory or subdirectories thereof.
