I, too, have just acquired a new ThinkPad T420i burdened with Windows 7 as its operating system. If not in DosBox, Carl, then how would you recommend best running Xy4 and/or portable.PM on that machine?

It's good to have feedback from the real world. I'm not a DosBox user, so I can't help you with the screen-size issue. As for CLIP.EXE: this is a stab in the dark, but try lowering the ChunkSz setting in XYWWWEB.REG; this controls the size of the data pieces (chunks) processed by CLIP. To get to the setting, command REGEDIT CHUNKSZ<Helpkey>. You should see a line like this: ChunkSz=8192 Whatever the number is, reduce it. I would suggest decrements of 512 (of course, you must SAve XYWWWEB.REG each time) until CLIP works or you get down to 1024. If CLIP still crashes at that value, then the solution lies elsewhere. Good luck.
