RE: [WriteLog] LPT antenna relay control

[Wayne <wa1pma@direcway.com>]

Hi Bob,

This problem seems to generate two sides. Those that can, and those that 
can not.

WriteLog itself says No support for LPT keying under WIn2K/XP. This in 
itself tells you the problem is in Writelog. It has nothing to do with the 
way WL checks the ports as WL won't do anything without a third party 
driver under these operating systems. I think most folks in the "can not" 
category share the feeling of disappointment in WL  for not being able to 
do something that HAS been done by others successfully.

I for one would like to believe that when you pay for a program such as WL, 
if enough people ask for support of a particular function the authors of 
the program would do their best to support it. In my limited experience 
with this list so far, no other single issue seems to generate as much 
traffic as this one.

I am hoping that the authors of WL are paying attention and maybe they can 
find a way to make support of LPT ports in WL happen.
