Here is what I found:  my original SD_CALDOS was 64 and SD_CALWIN was 
550.  This was much too slow; it was necessary to change SD_CALWIN to 
2100 in order to get the correct speed.  However, I still have two 
problems with the Windows program: 1) The first dot or dash is often 
much too long when CW generation starts, and 2) Hitting ESC to terminate 
   sending results in a long dash before it stops.

I think the DOS program still is the version of choice for my computer 
(400 MHz Pentium with W98SE).
