[WriteLog] Software to share serial port among two applications?

[Richard Thorne]

Jim:

Check out http://www.dxatlas.com/omnirig/  This may have some promise.

I'd like to see Writelog pickup its band data/frequency ect from 
TRX-Manager.  I think the above application would do the trick, if it 
were already setup, I'm not a programmer.

I run my TS-480 via remote control.  If Writelog had an OLE interface I 
would be able to operate a contest from home via remote.  For now I have 
to be sure I manually change bands during a contest and, if I'm running 
assisted, I can't click on a spot and have the rig go to the correct 
frequency.
