[ct-user] CT & WIN95/98 Revisited again & again & again

[jrmoore]

I like MAL have been running CT7,8,9 in win 95/98
for several years and have been very successful.
It is great to multi task during a contest.
I run CT from a batch file which is listed below.

echo off
cd\
C:
cd\
cd ct
comtsr1 -b9600 -i4 -n81
comtsr2 -b4800 -i3 -n82
comtsr3 -b4800 -i9 -n82
ct
comtsr3 -u
comtsr2 -u
comtsr1 -u
c:
cd\

I run it from a shortcut on the desktop.  In the
properties of the shortcut under program go to
advanced and set it to suggest dos mode on demand
at least that works for me for several years now.
