[WT-support] Win-Test 4.10.0 on Windows 8

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

One other thing, if you plan to use an LPT port on Win8 64-bit, please read
these two posts:

How To Use LPT Port with Windows-7

How To Use LPT Port with Windows-7 64-Bit
(Addendum)<http://lists.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2011-May/081098.html>

I think this Windows 7 procedure will also work on Windows 8, but I have no
way to verify this.  I hope someone on this list will try it and let us
know.
