[ct-user] CT in ARRL 10m on DX Side

[Jim Preston]

I checked this using CT 9.40. I did a "writearrl" and the ".log" file
came out fine (yes, I set it up from the DX side). However, when I did a
"writelog", the program crashed. This happened in Windows and in the DOS
shell in Windows. It seemed to work ok in DOS. I realize CT running in
WIndows is not supported, but this has never happened before. It worked
fine for the IARU contest. I also checked it using CQWW as the contest,
and no problem under Windows.
