I'm not sure what you mean, Carl. Where does the .dll file have to be? I ran
the zipfile, but no change.
When I hit the clip key, the copy is clipped, according to the message within
XY. But I don't think it overwrites the Windows Clipboard, because when I tried
to copy it into Notepad, I got the previous clipboard text from my last Win7
cut-and-paste.
DosBOX is a program that runs under Win7-64, which places it in a folder called
Program Files(x86), which I would presume are 32-bit programs that Win7 runs in
Win32 mode. It appears to me that when DosBOX is running, its whole world is
my C:\XY folder, which it is seeing as the C: drive.
I don't think it can call anything outside my XY folder. So if it's calling VBS
in Windows, I don't think it's getting through. I don't get any error messages
or crashes, just no response.
An alternate way to run XY4 on Win7 is to install Microsoft's Virtual PC and a
full XP operating system. Which I can do, but posters on this list have said
that it's slow. And I have no idea how or if XP within Virtual PC communicates
with Win7, so the same problem might exist.
Any other thoughts appreciated. Has anyone made CLIP.EXE work from DOSBox?
