[Dx4win] [Yaesu-FT-991-group] Re: [win-fldigi] Com ports

[bob]

OK thanks to N4PY it is all working.

DX4WIN logging program running.
N4PY Pegasus rig control program running.
FLdigi running.

A little manipulation of each program and it all works together.
OH..let me mention the VSP program provided by K5FR is needed to
allow communication from Pegasus pgm to Fldigi.

I learned alot these past few days. And thanks to all you guys who gave 
me input
that helped my mind look at this in different ways.
