[Dx4win] CW Interface - Problem detected and solved

[py2xb at integral.com.br]

Paul thanks

Indeed, all I had to do was to read the manual. I have updated the Portmap
file and 2 seconds latter LPT was working.

Paul, should I expect any char delay or whatever when keying using LPT
under windows XP ???

I have sent a message to DX4WIN support. Paul, please ignore it.

I would like to thank  everyone who responded to my e-mails.

Regards
