I used trlog on three windows95 computers at field day. What I did was
force win95 not to come up on a boot. Then, DOS 7 (or whatever) comes
up and tr worked fine. The procedure for doing this is described in the
following e-mail from the CT reflector.

I changed this to just type WIN95 using the following.
