[Fwd: Re: [Dx4win] CW Interface - Problem detected]

[Paul van der Eijk]

Fred,

Starting with version 6.04, you can specify different addresses for
the LPT port. The file save\portmap.ini contains these settings.
When the entry is blank, DX4WIN follows the DOS standard of
finding the hardware address for the port.

There is a rather complete description in the on-line help about this.
(in the index, look for portmap file)
