Re: Xy without vDosPlus/DOSBox-X ?



The author of the msdos-player app (the original author, in Japan) has fixed his program so that it works with XyWrite's keyboard handling. Download this zip archive:

Extract the enclosed xywrite64.exe and move it into the same folder that 
contains editor.exe, then run the program. Nothing in your existing 
setup will be changed, and you can delete this file (or rename it) at 
any time.
When you launch it, XyWrite should open in a terminal window, and you 
can change the size and other properties of the window by right-clicking 
on the top line. The new window size, etc. won't look right until you 
quit XyWrite and restart it.
I don't know if this has any advantage over vDosPlus except (perhaps) 
speed and tighter integration with Windows. When it prints, it sends a 
.PRN file to your %TEMP% folder. I have a folder-watching program that 
can watch for those files and print or create a PDF from them, but 
that's for another day.
