> I was somewhat disappointed when I realized that there was no CW keyer included in the SW. I like to connect my paddle directly to the LPT port, and use the same keyer as the program. As a workaround, I have seen that it is possible to run CT simultaneously and let the two programs share the key interface. It seems to run flawlessly. I would however prefer that you include a paddle interface into the program so that the speed control is common for the paddle and logging program.

Unfortunately, we can't manage such things reliably with Windows OS. 
Actually, you're a bit in luck it works the way you do it ;-)  I don't 
know what Windows version you're using, but be warned it could break 
with other or future versions of Windows.

The best way to use a paddle is to use an external keyer, and a Y cable 
between the computer CW output and this keyer.
