[ct-user] crash with WRITELOG

[Kurt W. Zimmerman]

Greetings all;
	I have CT Win loaded on my NT4 laptop and am getting a system crash when 
entering in the WRITELOG command.  I am wondering if there is something 
that I might be doing wrong.  Would like some help here.  Want to get the 
FD logs to the ARRL.  CT ran without a problem being able to control my rig 
as well as key the rig in CW.


System info.
Compaq Armada 233 mhz w/ 128m ram
Windows NT 4 sp6
CT v 9.90.006


73;

On the computer where I had a fatal error executing WRITELOG after the 
field
day contest:

I loaded CT DOS and transfered the .BIN file to that directory.  CT DOS 
9.90
loaded the .BIN file that was created with CT WIN  with no problem.
WRITELOG executed with no problem.

For some reason I can't get the serial port to control the radio on this
computer in the DOS version.

I have been using an old IBM PS2 laptop for CT.  This 386 machine worked
many contests with CT for me over the years.  I loaded the new version 9.90
with the ability to send CW with a paddle on the serial port.  I used this
program to run the Florida QSO party.  The real time clock on the computer
ran slow and all the QSO times are off.  The clock lost over an hour before
I noticed this.  Later testing showed that the real time clock looses time
when CT DOS is launched even if there is no activity such as logging or
sending CW.

So when I ran CT DOS on this pentium lap top with Windows 98 I was cautious
about the time.  There was no problem with the clock.  The problem that I
observed running CT DOS on the 386 laptop did not occur with the
pentium/windows 98 machine.

I would advise anyone using old computers with CT DOS to be sure that the
program is not effecting your clock.
