My experience is limited to Windows versions up to 2000;
therefore, I do not know about emulation modes on XP.

I had read comments about problems with running DOS
programs on XP due to XP's handling of character output
and that the problems could be resolved by installing a
particular display driver.

Furthermore, I do not recall any comments to the effect that
XM will run on XP.

Bottom-line--"maybe not XP" means I don't know and the
above are the reasons I have for denying any knowledge that
XM will run on XP.
