[Dx4win] Dx4win - Recording Frequency

[John Shaw]

Thanks for the info Larry/Jim,

Hopefully the recording of Frequencies is all under control.  I just thought
since IMHO this is un necessary feature the option to turn it off would be
available.

Sounds like V8 is starting to settle down, well done.

Larry, the fix you describe was included in 8.02.

John can certainly download 8.02 and try it in demo mode to see if the
frequency problems go away for him.
