[UK-CONTEST] DLPortio etc

[Clive Whelan]

Hi Ian

I may be boring this list as much as the N1MM reflector. However, all these
facts may ultimately prove useful to others; let's hope so.

Yes I confirm that "DriverLINX Port I/O Driver" is where it should be.
However, summat that's clearly not right. Tom asked me to send my ini file,
and commented that it showed ports that were not in use, and that LPT1 was
not checked as a CW port. This was correct, but crucially did not reflect
what had been configured. It's clear that the .ini file is not being saved
regularly, which is very bad imo. As you know in WL, you need to save the
config. for every contest, and that's bad enough!

I'll get there in the end, but I may be a little thinner afterwards. Got
plenty of hair to tear thankfully. All I can say is $?^^&* computes!

On the other hand, it worked first time here (XPpro and N1MM) and
continues to do the business. It also works with the N2PK vector network
analyser, which uses a fair selection of the parallel port pins.

The .dll and .sys files are exactly where you reported to the N1MM list,
Clive. The only difference might be that when we both used the new v5.8
installer, the program was already installed and working on my system,
while it wasn't on yours.

Can you confirm that the list of installed programs does include
"DriverLINX Port I/O Driver"?  (Start / Settings / Control Panel / Add
or Remove Programs)

Since nothing went wrong here, I can't help much more than that... but
no doubt N1MM can.
