[CQ-Contest] Adding MS-DOS to a WindowsXP Computer

[w4ZW]

Same here.

Love TRLOG, and ran it for many years on a WIN95 and then a WIN98 machine
without any problems, but all my systems are now XP Pro, and N1MM is pretty
slick, and with the  EL keyer, sends good CW.

I also miss the intuitive "enter Key" and the smart parsing of the exchange.
