I was keying the rig with a paddle, using the built in keyer.
I was running under Windows 3.1 which i don't recommend to anyone. Tentec
says it will work and it does, but just barely. I am moving up to Windows
95 tomorrow so I will check to see if DOS programs still cause the same
problem. Actually all you have to do is go to the DOS prompt without even
running anything to have the problem.
I don't know if the Pegasus program is 16 or 32, the programming manual
says it is a Windows based Graphical Users Interface program.
