Response from Berthold Horn, Re: Configuring Y & Y for Windows XP

[Murray Eisenberg]

Does the warning against ATM 4.0 with Windows XP also apply to ATM
Deluxe 4.1 with Windows XP?

I have the latter and installed and run Y&Y TeX without difficulty but
for one small problem.  There was ONE font -- at this point it would
take me some digging to discover which one -- that had to be modified so
as to have a different (internal) name.  AS I recall, that was because
the ATM database didn't allow quite long enough names and hence
confounded two different fonts.
