[ct-user] CT & XP

[Mark Bailey]

Hi Mal and everyone:

That works as well.  You do need somewhere to store the log files,
though.  This may be a FAT partition on a hard drive or, on some
computers, a USB key...

AFAIK, those instructions are still fine.  If you have any questions,
drop me a line.

73,

Mark, KD4D ("some W4... :-))
