Re: XyWrite in full screen mode on Win7 32 bit



Xy4 works in full screen mode in DOSBox under Win 7.

I installed DOSBox-0.74 on my wife's work laptop earlier this year in
anticipation of the evil day I will be forced to upgrade from WinXP to
Win 7.

Xy4 worked with a little tweaking of the
c:\Documents and Settings\inggsej\Local Settings\Application Data\DOSBox\dosbox-0.74.conf
file:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
mount c c:\XYDOSBOX
mount d c:\data
SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\
c:
editor.exe

I haven't had access to the Win 7 laptop for long enough to put
Xy4 through all its paces but the basics do work.

Incidentally I have three or four Xy4 manuals given to me when
my department changed to M$Word. However, shipping them from the
southern tip of  Africa would be prohibitively expensive for
anyone in the rest of the world.
