[Dx4win] dx4win crashes when microham router not run

[ON4AOI]

Like promessed I tried what you asked Bill,
Btw pc = eeepc1000h with XP-home
DX4WIN starts up ok but shutting down the program gives the exception error
It is caused by the WINKEY link in dx4win,
BTW It does it also when you have a separate winkey and you disconnect
it b4 you shut down dx4win.
