In addition, make sure that you are not trying to do "radio control"
from the stand alone version of MMTTY (Option -> Setup MMTTY -> TX ->
Radio command).

If you have configured MMTTY for radio control using the same port as
WriteLog will use for radio control, you will *certainly* get a port
conflict when you try to start the RTTYrite window using MMTTY with
either the old "plug-in" or new ".ocx" interfaces.

If you normally use radio command with MMTTY in stand-alone mode, create
another directory and copy only MMTTY.exe, EXTFSK.dll or ETFSK64.fsk (if
you use EXTFSK to support a USB based serial port), USERPARA.ini,
MMTTY.chm and XMMT.ocx into the new directory.  Then when asked for the
path to MMTTY/XMMT.ocx, *USE THE NEW DIRECTORY*.  Note: this is the same
procedure (creating a new directory) that one would use to create two
MMTTY windows in RTTYrite.
