[ct-user] Windows XP Pro

[Carl Herrera]

Now, I'm not a super techie but, my understanding is that XP does not talk
directly to the ports (like LPT1).  In talking to Tom Dandrea (Win-EQF), I
asked him how he managed to get Win-EQF to do CW with XP.  The answer is
that there are "kernel drivers" that allow it.  This means changing the
actual program to use these drivers.

I think that it is already being tested for  CT and I was wondering if
anybody had heard any word on any progress.

In the meantime,  I have a hard disk with Win98 on it which I swap in (rack
mount) when I want to use CT.
