[WriteLog] Can not switch TNC???

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

It appears that WriteLog 11.10G breaks something in the old MMTTY
plug-in.  I suggest uninstalling the plug-in from the Control Panel
then starting WriteLog 11.10G, then selecting one of the Sound Board
options.  After that you have two choices - you can install XMMT.ocx
and use MMTTY that way or you can close WriteLog 11.10G and reinstall
the old plug-in.

The old plug-in works if installed and configured *after* an upgrade
to 11.10G (as long as 11.10G is not reinstalled).  I do recommend
rebooting after uninstalling the old plug-in to make sure any locked
files are released.

For anyone who has not already upgraded - set RTTYrite to one of
the sound board choices temporarily and uninstall the old MMTTY
plug-in before upgrading it will save you some headache.
