[Skimmertalk] AGGREGATOR RTTYskimserv.ini bug

[W3OA]

Jeff -

You do have to leave RTTYSkimServ.ini in it's default directory.

That's because RTTYSkimServ does not have a provision for specifying which .ini file to use.  It always uses the one with the default file name in the default directory.

This is different from CW SkimSrv where you can specify which .ini file to use via a command line parameter.

The .ini location box on Aggregator's "RTTYSkimServ" tab just tells Aggregator how to find the default .ini file.

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.
