Thanks for the tip, Ken. My build was failing until I took your advice. Now
is ok.

Build went fine with one additional step on my system. I had to install the
"developer's pack". I've only used VS for Python so likely a real developer
would already be set up.
Thanks for the extra work Wayne.

Subject: [WriteLog] DigiRite 1.1.32 update. and a new way to distribute it
To users of WriteLog with DigiRite
There is a new version of DigiRite available. But...
Since the previous release of DigiRite, version 1.1.30, we have received
complaints from the WSJT-X copyright holders that the combination of
WriteLog with DigiRite violates their software license, the Gnu Public
License (GPL.) It is our reading that DigiRite does not violate the GPL, but
our opinion does not remove the threat that we would have to pay lawyers to
defend it. To reduce that threat to a level of risk we are willing to take
(it cannot go to zero--anyone can sue anybody for anything in this country)
we have removed the DigiRite installer kit from writelog.com. The DigiRite
sources remain open (which is the primary requirement of the GPL after all)
and are published on github and there are some new features since 1.1.30
that might interest you.
These features are in version 1.1.32:
1. fix a bug that poorly chooses the priority of which messages to send
to concurrent QSOs in progress.
2. Set the CQ message and the exchange to send in DigiRite dialogs
rather than fishing around in WriteLog's f-key memories. (That was not a
user-friendly choice in the first place, so its now fixed.)
To get a running version of DigiRite 1.1.32, you have to build it yourself
(or get someone to do it for you). The software tools are available for free
download from Microsoft. The details are at http://writelog.com/digirite,
which links to the build recipe here:
