[Dx4win] LPT ports: Where art' thou?

[John Silva N3AM]

I am using Win7 with a 3-port USB-RS232 adapter cable for rig 
control, FSK and CW keying, all of which works fine with N1MM, 
but  when I start DX4WIN 8.05 I get an error message: "Could not open 
COM6 for keying: ie_Open - device already open"

Perhaps this is related to your issue.

Upgraded to ver 8.05 and moved to a Win 7 machine and cannot get the CW
keyboard to ..key. In earlier DX4WIN versions I always used LPT-1 port in
"Preferences/CW". I've tried every choice there is in Preferences/CW with no
success.

I want to recall something about LPT's not working in ver 8.05 and there was
a source for a modifications or a plugin.

Where might this be and under what name?
