A standalone DOSBox-X-based XyWrite



Carl,
Thanks to your extensive help in the past, I was able to put together a self-contained XyWrite 4 system that used DOSBox-X to run the program. I've been trying to update it to the latest Xy upgrades and current U2. Aside from the XYCP problems that I reported in a separate thread, most things seem to be working, but I found one intractable problem:
If I enter ASCIITABLE<F11> the command times out. With some 
experimentation, I think I figured out that the problem is that the path 
to XAU3X.AU3 is too long in my standalone setup. When experimenting, I 
was able to make ASCIITABLE show an AutoIt Error, reading:

Line 0 (File: "E:\XYWRITE4\APPHD\XY4U2\U2EXTRAS\XAU3")"

Error: Error opening the file.
It seems to be trying to open XAU3X.AU3, but has cut off the path before the second "X".
I don't know if it's physically possible to make that path shorter in 
the background, but in some future version, I hope you might consider 
it. Meanwhile, I'll try figure out if I can so something about it in my 
setup.
