[Dx4win] Software to share serial port among two applications?

[Tony Lord]

Hi all, this looks real interesting. I want to connect DX4WIN and Ham Radio
Deluxe (HRD) at the same time. Both need to communicate with my ICOM Pro II,
at the moment I can only connect one piece of software at a time. Does this
software allow me to have both DX4WIN and HRD connected to the Rig at the
same time??

Either Serial splitter or Comfoolery??

If I understand correctly I could use say COM port 4, for DX4WIN (as I do
now, via a USB to serial converter), then create a virtual port, say COM
port 8, and use this for HRD. Both then accessing the Icom rig via Com Port
4, but HRD thinking its talking to com port 8??
