Hello Noel and CT users,
I can confirm that CT-DOS + Nettsr + Windows applications can be mixed =
on the same network, using the method advised by Ken.
There are other methods available to suit different applications.
Example application 1 (simple method)
My main operating laptop PC runs CT in 'pure' DOS with David Robbins' =
Nettsr.
I have a second networked laptop that can task-switch between a Windows =
95 DOS session, running CT / Nettsr, and with other Windows applications =
- such as Mini-prop and QuickScore. In this example the CT-DOS session =
runs in the background to maintain a continuos back-up copy of the log. =
This method uses a second Windows 'hardware profile' to disable the =
Microsoft Windows 95 networking facility.
Example application 2 (advanced method)
I have another laptop that runs a custom application in Windows 95. The =
custom application (SpotPath) uses a 'SocketWrench' (freeware) tool to =
achieve networked communication with CT. The SocketWrench is used in =
place of Nettsr. This method is suited to custom software applications. =
Custom Windows applications, such as SpotPath, have the advantage of =
substantially extending the functionality of CT.=20
For example, SpotPath can: communicate with CT - including the gab =
feature; pick up a callsign from the network and instantly display the =
operators profile - including first name; graphically display =
propagation path openings to selected destinations - updated every half =
hour; pick up a callsign from the network and instantly alert the =
operator to any 'move' opportunity and any 'sked' opportunity - based on =
an instant look-up of a propagation path database for any band / route / =
timeslot; and keep a log of filtered network traffic.
The 'SocketWrench' is a key to advancing state of the art Windows =
networked contesting support. Much of the credit for advances in network =
support belongs to the outstanding contributions and assistance provided =
by David Robbins K1TTT.
Kind regards,
John Loftus

Can we mix on the same network CT DOS+ Nettsr and CTWIN?
Thanks for your help.
