Re: A XyWrite for Windows installer



Carl, That’s very good to know. 

Are the any functional differences between Start.exe and FileOpen.exe? The history of that little
program is this (if I remember correctly):

I needed something that would work like the Win32/64 START command for use with my WPDOS system, so
I wrote thirty lines of incompetent C++ code that did the job and gave it the name FileOpen. Wengier
asked for the source code; I sent it to him, and he reduced it  to something like four lines that
did exactly the same thing as my thirty (the other lines were just unnecessary stuff that I copied
from Microsoft documents). He renamed it Start.exe. If there’s any functional difference
between them, I never knew about it, and I’d be grateful to hear about it.
