Migrating to Mac

["Jon P" dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxx (Redacted sender "xywrite4" for DMARC)]

The fulltime surveillance and forced, sometimes destructive updates 
of Windows 10 are the end of the road for me with Microsoft.

I'm looking into a MacBook Air with High Sierra. I found Edward 
Mendelson's Wineskin Vdosplus port below, but can someone give 
me a really basic step-by-step after installing it? I installed 
his app on a borrowed MacBook but there's no roadmap from there, 
and I was reluctant to (perhaps) create some sort of partition 
on a borrowed machine.
 
Do I create a virtual C: drive and then copy my existing XY4 
installation into that? 

Or is there a different DOS emulator now that's better suited 
for that particular MacOS?
 
Thanks for your help

Purely as an experiment, I’ve packaged vDosPlus for use on a Mac via the 
superb Wineskin Winery program. This is a variant of the vDosWPMac system 
that I put together for running WPDOS on a Mac. It comes with no support 
whatever, and, on the machine where I’m working now, I don’t have a working 
copy of XyWrite or Nota Bene to test it with. Launch it once and read the 
message it displays in its screen, and you’ll figure out where to put a 
XyWrite or Nota Bene folder.

The one essential point is this: The first time you launch the application, 
do NOT double-click on it, because OS X/macOS will tell you that the application 
is damaged. It is not damaged. Open it the first time by doing this: ctrl-click 
the application; choose Open from the menu, and follow the prompts. After you
do this once, the application will open normally when you double-click it.
