I ran for 4 separate sittings...approx.300+ q's and approx 4 hrs.
Not a hick-up from WL...Op was assisted...I am new to WL also...the <enter>
key was hard to get used to...got lost a couple times not knowing where the
focus was. Wish I'd had more time!
Pent. 180 pro Win98
Dual monitors
128meg. ram
CW on LPT1
Rig control
Packet (RF)
TS-940 Kenwood + SB220
Everything worked perfect! (knock on wood) Great program
