[WriteLog] "Practice Mode" Suggestion?

[BobD]

Some have said they got PED to run in a DOS Window..
On the PED page they tell you not to run it in a DOS Window....
and that if you get it to run in a Window you are lucky ...
Try it ... it may work for you   ....

You can find the MASTER.DTA DX counrty files on ...
http://www.k1ea.com/master/index.htm

There is a TXT file in PED with all the instructions ...
