Hello Wengier,

Clipboard and printing issues should be resolved before rushing into a new edition of the Xy-specific installers. We did not rely solely on the original DosPrinter solution for printing. Clearly this needs a testing period before doing much more.

For this purpose, the users of the vDos-lfn for XyWrite should follow this procedure (as stated in the manual.txt of the same):
It is suggested that you may manually update your vDos-lfn installation to a newer version by downloading the latest generic vDos-lfn portable version and copying the EXE file and making eventual CONFIG.TXT changes as documented in the latest README.TXT of the latest vDos-lfn version. vDos-lfn for XyWrite will be updated from time to time.

Wengier, we have the always the latest versions of vDos-lfn at the static addresses, but is there a version history of all the successive vDos-lfn versions somewhere?

Hi all,

Jos has released the new vDos 2016.06.01 today, and I also released vDos-lfn 2016.06.01 today accordingly. This version includes various changes and new features from the previous version of vDos(-lfn), such as a faster CPU emulation, enhanced execution of Windows programs and a brand new print processor. Kari might want to make a new version of vDos-lfn for XyWrite installer as was done with the previous version of vDos-lfn, although I think it may also be a good idea to make a quick test first in order to make sure everything works reliably. The forum thread for vDos-lfn 2016.06.01 is available from:

Sincerely,
Wengier
