Msg: Re: vDos-lfn instead of vDoxXy?

For me, vdos-lfn has two demerits versus vdosxy3 -- the absence of a config.txt command to alter key repeat speed and a change made to vdos proper, which makes it impossible to load a wordpad document and vdos window (via autoexec.txt) and display them at the same time. Current vdos requires manually loading the wordpad document.

Subject: vDos-lfn instead of vDoxXy?

I haven't tried it extensively, but Wengier Wu's vDos-lfn includes
keyboard support similar to that in vDosXy, and is based on the current
vDos codebase. It's possible that it might be worth trying in place of
vDosXy for testing its reliability, etc. with XyWrite.

As vDos-lfn demonstrates, the current code of vDos can easily be
modified and patched; it is absolutely not closed off to patching and
revision, as was suggested in messages here a few months ago.

A description of vDos-lfn with links to executable files and replacement
source code is here:
