[Dx4win] Using 2Tone inside DX4WIN

I have no idea what is involved in a change to the RTTY interface
code in DX4Win.  The interface is publicly documented in the MMTTY
"Programmers Info" and can be used freely.  Developers of DXLab
Suite, Logger32, N1MM Logger and WriteLog have all either replaced
the traditional *.exe interface or supplemented it with the added
*.ocx interface for MMTTY and/or 2-Tone in the last year.

One benefit of including (or switching to) the *.ocx interface would
be the ability to replace the old PSKcore PSK31 support with MMVARI
which would instantly provide BPSK63/125 and MFSK as well as multi-
channel PSK/MFSK receive capability.

73,
