[Ham-Mac] Replacement for MacTNC v.1.1 ?

[Patrick Merat]

Steve,

Strange but I am running version 1.1 with Panther (10.3.4) on a G5 and 
TM-D700 and it works fine. The program starts by saying that it does 
not recognize port and if I specify it: it works. I am happy with the 
program. Thanks for providing it.
