Yes, Rik

I know about this problem, but I fogot on it. Realy my mistake. Problem is
that the serial port on my notebook is connected to the mobil phone for GPRS
connection to the Internet (DX-cluster). Never mind, must do it for serial
port for the next trip. Best regards...

Hello Rich,

sorry to hear that you couldn't be active in QRSS due to problems with 
Win2000 and the parallel port.
But it is a known problem. It is because - in contradiction to the serial 
port - cannot be on "pin level" accessed via the windows API (at least I 
don't know how ... if someone knows all info is welcome) so I had to access 
some memory locations direct. It works under any windows version that is 
not "NT-like", so up to Win98 and not for Win20000, XP etc ...
But the serial port should work under any Win version.

I (and probably many other programmers) dream of the sweet days of DOS when 
a PC was an "open box" and almost any port (and function such as the 
hardware timer) could be easily accessed. But then came Mr. G. and decided 
that everything would be better if he made things more complicated ...

73, Rik  ON7YD
