If you need an older machine running Win98SE to run CT on, contact me off
reflector & we can talk about it!

CT for DOS
( or CTWIN for Windows if you are a bit more adventurous but it has some
anonolies
you can learn about on teh CT Reflector - sign up link is at k1ea.com I
think )

Works just fine for hams who are computer challenged and don't eat buts and
bites for breakfast every day !

Very easy and not item consuming to learn

Hams have gone to WRTC Championships and cpompeted with iut

Hardest part is finding an old computer that runs REAL DOS

Get one that gas WIN98 or WIN98SE on it and when you turn it on
Tap the F8 keys until it boots to a DOS window

My 2 cents

If I were to want to punish myself and go into computer hell I would highly
recommend Win-Test.
I hear it is like CT on Steriods and doesn't have the craziness that goes on
with
Writelog and N1MM, 2 of the most favotite Contest logging programs in wide
use.

At least with Win-Test, things work right off the bat when U click on pull
down and other menu items !!!
( This comment came from a World Class contestor who has had to learn and
make work and USE all 3 programs !!! )

I have NO pecuniary interest in any of the programs I mentioned.

P.S. - K1EA just added the Elecraft K3 to his infamous "CT"  contest logging
program !

P.P.S. -  K.I.S.S
