[WriteLog] Writelog COM port support

[Don AA5AU]

Yes, it does.  Actually WriteLog always did support COM ports higher than COM 4.  It just wasn't easy to change.  In earlier versions of WriteLog, you could change the Commslots in the writelog.ini file as shown here:

This was changed in later versions of WriteLog where drop down menus allow you to select higher COM ports.  I'm not sure I posted this to the WriteLog reflector, but i created a webpage that shows how to view unused and hidden COM ports in Windows XP here:
