I run QRS 3.17 in Windows 3.11 with the serial port and it works great.

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 ...

Hi LF-ers...
Again a nice trip to my second QTH. We have worked ONLY CW under the calls
OM2TW and OM2KM. Worked DK7SU, DJ2LF, YU7AR, S57A, G3LDO (for the first
time), HA6PX, SM1LCA and OZ1KMR. We did some tests with G3LNP loop. I'm
very
sorry to Jose EA1PX, Brian CT1DRP, Ian MI0AYZ and all LF-ers from over the
pond - we were NOT QRV on QRSS due to a software problem. Normaly I'm using
my LF station on QRSS at home with QRS 3.17 under Win98. In the second QTH
I
have an notebook with W2k and just around 2200Z I find out, that QRS
doesn't
work with W2k on the parallel port. I had a skeds with Jose, Brian and Ian
and want to try another T/A test - for the first time from my second QTH. I
was sad...therfore we were NOT on QRSS....so maybe another time.
