Paul,After much struggling, I have gotten dosemu2 installed and operative on my remote site. After more struggling I copied my Xy folder to the dos box, but now entering EDITOR.EXE (which dir finds) doesn't launch anything. I get Command not found.How do I launch?On Sun, 26 Jul 2020 at 18:35, Paul Lagasse <pglagasse@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:XyWrite works well under Ubuntu Linux for me. I have depended on Ubuntu
Linux to run Xy4 since the mid-2000s, when I began to be concerned about
running XyWrite on Windows, and am now using it in Ubuntu 16.04. Dosemu
needs a few tweaks, in my experience, though I'd have to pour through my
configuration files to remember all I did. I use xsel for a two-way
clipboard, converting codepages when going in and out of XyWrite, and I
modify /etc/sysctl.conf, adding vm.mmap_min_addr = 0, or on rare
occasions dosemu crashes.
It's quite speedy. And I'm very happy. But if you are reliant on
xywwweb.u2, that could be a problem.
