[GreenKeys] ITTY Pix Run

[Doug Alderdice]

Ah, many thanks for that URL.

Don't know what happened with my computer yesterday.  It's an old 486 
ThinkPad running Procomm into my HK-232 and I had the log file open -- I've 
run a lot of RTTY like that.  For some reason between every picture Procomm 
would stop copying, even though I had flow control turned off and all 
that.  I guess the string of nuls between pix did it, but can't be 
sure.  I'd have to hit the enter key to keep it copying.  For whatever 
reason it locked up completely when I was away from the machine for an hour 
or so and even the three-fingered salute wouldn't bring it back.  On reboot 
the log file reported zero bytes.

Now with that URL I don't have to worry about losing the log file I had.

Tnx agn es 73,

Doug, KA2WFT
