I agree with Neal's next posting in that I've been sufficiently satisfied
with MMTTY's performance to continue to use it.  I've even managed to win a
contest or two with it, however I guess that what it lacks compared to RITTY
must be made up with big aluminum. 

All due respect, it's a shame that he's continued to be bitter about it this
long.  I've never used RITTY, always considered it overpriced as compared to
multimode hardware modems that were as cheap if not cheaper and did more
then RTTY alone.  Although probably not as well, they performed well enough
for my needs at the time (read: poor college student), without the
requirements of what was specific hardware.  

>From reading this forum there are several users who seem to know (to my
uneducated programming experience) enough about DSP and coding, to write a
program coupled with the improvements in technology and computing, that
should blow RITTY out of the water and put an end to the debate of how a
software application compares to a closed door, aged app that has no hope of
evolving for the future.

Would love to see it Dave.. wink wink..
