[WT-support] Wanted: equivalent of CT -FO switch in Win-Test

[Harry Herr, W6HH]

Hi Bob,

Why not use CT?

As I promised in another thread, I finally tried CT on my Win 7 32 bit 
home made machine and it works!  Of course, I had to "fiddle with the 
sysgen" (that's a Computer Science technical expression) and I have not 
yet tried any of the interfaces (i.e radio, DVP, rotor, keyer, etc.).  
But, the basic logging program works like gangbusters using DOSBox v 
0.74 which was created to run DOS games on a Windows OS.
I had previously setup DOSBox to run LogPlus using my HL9HH log that I 
successfully recovered from an old DOS computer that got trashed in my 
move home to LA ans subsequent move to Arkansas.
I don't know if I'll live long enough to try implementing my old DVP 
card but the DOSBox configuration file just may allow all the interfaces 
to be utilized.
