>I suspect it has something to do with the paths to Startup, Settings and the thesaurus, but I don't
quite understand how paths work within Virtual PC.
Paths work just like normal DOS. Try using Xy in the VPC C: partition to see if the problem resides
in the shared disk. You might try to point the VPC x: disk to a folder with a DOS-compliant path
like C:\disk on the host machine.
Actually I am using Nota Bene 3.0 DOS (= a Xy3 variant) under VPC 32-bit on Win XP 32-bit. NB is a
bit slow to start compared to Xy and it takes about 3 seconds. My Xy4 copy takes 1-2 seconds to
load. The performance should be comparable to a Pentium-class standalone DOS machine. Using an alias
X: disk makes no difference in my case.
Try other DOS software to see if the problem lies in the VPC installation or if it is your Xy
installation.
