Edward,
You’re likely missing the USER.LOG file in your XY3 program folder.
Also, make sure your STARTUP.INT file includes this line:
That should fix the issue.
And yes — the EXE works fine for everyone else who still don't believe/trust.
Best,
XYGHOST

and runs! Xyghost sent me the assembly code and a batch file that builds it, using MASM 4.0 and LINK 3.64 (which I found in the MASM 5.0 bundle). After I put the executables in the right places, all I needed to do was run xyghost's batch file, and a few seconds later, a working editor3.exe was created. I used DOSBox-X as my build environment, and needed to run LOADFIX before running the batch file, in order to avoid the dreaded "Packed file is corrupt" message from link.exe. I also used vDos, which also worked but was slower, and has the slight disadvantage of reducing the long filename of the batch file to an 8.3 name. Well done, xyghost! This is really an amazing achievement - a staggeringly amazing achievement. (P.S. I can't use it for anything, because if enter the NE command, it tells me to log in, but presumably that is Working as Designed.) |
