Re: XyWrite under Linux (possibly)

[Paul Lagasse <pglagasse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I use the x86-64 version of Ubuntu 16.04 
fine and without any issues. It was and is the dosemu x86-64 package 
that had and has the issues. Installing the i386 package, which is 
supported on x86-64 Ubuntu 16.04, solved the problem. For me at least 
there was no need to revert to the 386 Ubuntu release; on my machine, 
performance would have taken a hit.  In the future, after an upgrade, I 
would install dosemu2.
