>system settings either in
>DOS or windows (it does not mess with your registry, DLL's,
>or other system programs).
>
>The program is easy to use - just press various keys to engage
>the different functions.
>
>Installation, removal, and operating

>instructions are included.

>If there is enough interest, the Beta version may advance into
>a final version.  In any event, I am not aware of any major

>This has been a very fun project - sort of like homebrewing
>your own ham equipment used to be

>in the days of tubes and
>discrete components!
