You provide the user with a personal copy of the C: directory. You can then
edit the autoexec.bat and config.sys files to do the normal DOS stuff to them.
That is what I did and it worked.

I had a similar problem. You will need to use wschange.exe to build a new configation file for wordstar. You present file will probably be called WS, I created another file called WS1 to use under VPIX so that I could still use the original one under native DOS. You will have to go through the section on file locations (I think) , and change the paths to all your files. Wordstar 5.5 works great under VPIX. -- John Vorstermans, john@actrix.co.nz
