[TRLog] Booting to MS-DOS with Windows ME

[Gary J. Ferdinand W2CS]

<pin pulled>

Of course the real and only proper solution is to get a TRLog function going
on a windows supported interface.  DOS may be tried and true, but its
support for new devices is dwindling and its capability in terms of
utilizing a computer is minimal/abysmal.  I have neither the space nor the
inclination to keep a spare 386/486 machine around just to run TRLog on
DOS...not when the rest of the shack is cooking on a P3 for various digital
modes.

Tree, are you working on a TRLog-for-Windoze?  If one were to exist, or a
competitor were to crop up, I'd change in a heartbeat, frankly.  If it
worked, of course :))

<grenade thrown>  73.

| I think the time is near when all of use DOS users are going to
| have to carry around DOS boot disks.  It isn't that hard to have
