The DOS version had a bug that caused it to ignore the /2 altogether (it hardwired the COM port back to 1 after parsing the command-line arts). That's fixed in the Windows build.
Mark: the Windows source code should still be able to compile for DOS at your end, if you change the #define back. If you'll switch to my copy (and switch to .cpp compilation) it would be easy to keep them in sync. -- john, KE5FX > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on > Behalf Of Magnus Danielson > Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2009 2:31 PM > To: Richard W.
