Hi Myron,

There is indeed a simple solution. Download the XyWrite 4 Service Pack
(https://www.lexitec.fi/xywrite/vDosPlus503_SP_Setup.zip). Run the
installer. Select the code page (CP437 US or CP850 Latin-1) and other
options you want. You will get a working installation. Just doubleclick
the icon on your desktop after installation.

Best regards,

My hard disk of programs archives recently died… it went from no

problems six months ago to won’t-even-turn last week.

I want to reinstall some of my DOS programs. I think I have the XyWrite

IV floppies (I started in 1983 - - II or III), but others exist only as
*.img versions of the discs.

Does anyone know how to install from multiple *.img files?
     Installations usually contain onscreen instructions like, “Insert

disc #3”.

        How do you mimic inserting floppy disk #3 with disk3.img?

Thanks!

PS  Before I start searching through piles of old hard disks I thought I

would ask:  Is there any source for a downloadable, working version of Xy
IV?  (4.16? 4.17?)  I migrated my installed and updated copy for many
years, but now it is entombed in that motionless hard disk. :-(
