Hi Larry --
I downloaded beta 4 at work this morning at work and connected to my system
at home just fine. Then I downloaded beta 5 and started it and it kept
crashing after complaining the baud rate was too slow. I blew away
winsdr.ini and then it worked ok, and was able to download the ini files
from my home system. Just wanted to let you know.
