[Skimmertalk] AGGREGATOR RTTYskimserv.ini bug

[Jeff Blaine]

Bob,

I am aware of that restriction and for that reasons have it installed on 
my box under C:\HAM\RTTYSkimServ.   So it's not under the protected realm.

If you are saying it works under the default directory, that would 
confirm my observation that yes, it does work with the default directory.
