[Skimmertalk] AGGREGATOR RTTYskimserv.ini bug

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

This is not a bug.

If RTTYSkimServ is installed in the default location (C:\Program Files
(x86)\Afreet\RttySkimServ), that's a protected program directory, and a
program like the Aggregator is not allowed to update any files there,
unless you change its properties to "Run as an Administrator" (not
recommended).

I have set it to use the directory recommended by the text displayed below
the entry box, substituting my sign-on Id for W3OA.  Works fine, and
Aggregator keeps all the required frequencies in sync between CW Skimmer
and RTTY Skimmer, as required.

73,
Bob, N6TV
