[WriteLog] RITTYRite Crashes

[Richard L. King]

I have this same problem after installing 10.49 and XP-SP2.

However, with the MMTTY plug-in installed, I can work RTTY OK with 
Writelog. With the MMTTY plug-in everything seems to work just as it did 
before 10.49 and SP2. I have not noticed any intermittent problems (not yet 
anyway).

Since we use the MMTTY plug-in all the time, I haven't bothered to pursue 
the RTTYWrite problem.
