[RTTY] MMTTY engine with WriteLog and stereo soundcard

Yes, it works under Vista assuming User Account Control is 
tuned off so WriteLog and the MMTTY plug-in works properly.

Windows 98 has been out of support by Microsoft for more than 
two years.  By now it should be in the same class as CP/M and 
other historically "interesting" operating systems. It should 
not be a serious candidate for a production system. 

This also works with Windows 2000 depending on the soundcard 
and drivers.  Some drivers worked in Win2K and some did not. 
In some cases the vendor's customized drivers would not 
virtualize while the standard drivers that shipped with Win2K 
worked fine.  

73,
