Re: DOSBox-X version 0.83.11 released!



Kari,

The original vDosPlus installer (not vDosPlus XyWrite installer) was not exclusively designed for XyWrite either, but you created the vDosPlus XyWrite installer to help setup vDosPlus for XyWrite. Perhaps you can make a DOSBox-X XyWrite installer too when you have time?

Hello,

DOSbox X is not the easiest beginner solution. I would suggest vDosPlus
XyWrite which has ample documentation to help you.

The install is a two step process:

1) copy the contents of a working XyWrite setup to a folder (e.g. c:\XY)
N.B. it is very difficult to run the Xy4 install program on a modern
computer, a better idea is to copy a set of files to the folder.
(If you have access to an old DOS computer, run the installation using
it, and copy the files).
Download files from: http://xywrite.com/

2) run the vDosPlus installer supplying the folder location info and
other details to the program.

You may need to fix something (e.g. paths) in your startup.int file
afterwards.
