Which from several e-mails I have received in trying to make this new
motherboard do LPT CW Keying (Bought it in April 04) I can only conclude
that I am not alone in not being able to make WL work when other
programs such as DX4WIN and N1MM do just fine.

Not exactly correct - see below.

It does but puts the responsibility on you. The NT family just like all
real OS's simply does not talk to hardware without going thru the OS.
That is a security thingy.
CT simply loads its driver for you.
WL forces you to select your own poison.
