[WriteLog] Windows 2000 and WL CW Keying

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Correct - Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP require a third 
party LPT driver.  Here is the information from the writelog web 
page: www.writelog.com/support.html 


LPT ports with Windows 2000/XP

WriteLog does not support use of the LPT port on Windows NT, 
Windows 2000 or Windows XP. However,  third party solutions 
are available.
    
  http://www.direct-io.com. This product is shareware and 
  currently priced at $29.00. Setup instructions for direct-io 
  with WriteLog can be found at: www.direct-io.com/kb/q600003.htm.

  Alternatively, a freeware product is available:
  UserPort.zip is freeware. Instructions on how to use it are here:  
     www.writelog.com/support/lpt_port_support_on_windows_nt.htm 
  But UserPort does not always work on all XP systems, and for 
  those where it doesn't work, the usual symptom is a Windows 
  system crash.
