[ct-user] How to get CT.CFG used at startup?

[John Bednar]

Ken,

No startup switch required. Make sure you are saving the ct.cfg file
as a text file with ASCII characters and not some other type of
file. 

I know this works with the latest version of CT.

Hi all,

I am trying to get ready for ARRL 160 test. I'm using CT 9.84. I'm
am 
trying to get the system to start up with all the appropriate 
selections; contest type, section, cw messages, etc. using the
ct.cfg 
file. I'm pretty sure I've done this before, but I can't seem to
make it 
work. If I have a .BIN file of the right name with all that stuff 
entered it works fine. I was under the impression I could write a
CT.CFG 
file to load all that stuff, and with no .BIN file CT would start
using 
all the stuff in the CT.cfg file if it is in the same directory that

ct.exe is in.

Is there a command line switch such as -cfg that needs to be in my
batch 
file to make this work? I cannot find any reference to -cfg s a
command 
line switch.

What I am trying to do is get my system ready with a .bat file so I
can 
type "GOARRL" at the c:\> command prompt, and the directory will
change, 
the comtsrs will load and ct will start using the ct.cfg file. I
want to 
try everything, and then when it all works delete the ARRL06.BIN
(that 
is what I am calling it) file, so that all my bogus test QSO
dissappear. 
When I do this, even though I have a CT.CFG file that says contest
type= 
AR160, it starts up in some other multiband contest mode on 20
meters.

I must be forgetting something, and I haven't found it in the
documentation.

Thanks,

Ken N6KB
