[ct-user] CT and Win98

[Randy Thompson]

Windows 98 Beta 3, latest version of CT

I needed to do some logging for the ARI contest last weekend but also wanted
to do some other computer work in between QSOs.  I decided to launch CT in a
DOS window and see what happens.

Wow, I was pleasantly surprised.  Windows 98 seems to handle CT a little
better than its predecessors.  I was able to view CT in both normal and -vga
modes.  Everything seemed to work without any bumps.

CW - The CW sending was perfect (using LPT1).  EXCEPT: You had to keep the
window focus on the dos window containing CT.  If I switched away, the CW
sending would stop (key up or key down depending on what state it was in
when I switched).  Not a problem for casual contesting that I was doing.

DVP - I didn't spend much time on this, but I wasn't able to get the DVP to
function in the dos window.
