Here they are. Please use these mirror links (which always point to the latest U2 release) until I
can sort out what's happening with xywrite.org.

Yes, quite doable, and it makes sense if XyWrite is the only DOS program you run under vDosPlus
(which I like to call "VDP" for short). Since I use VDP to run a couple of other DOS
programs as well, I prefer to maintain a dedicated VDP folder. One advantage of a dedicated folder
is clarity: a DIRectory of that folder will show VDP files and nothing else. But if XyWrite is your
only app, VDP is a set-and-forget affair, and a single directory should serve nicely.
