[Dxbase] MMTTY - for what it is worth - Joe wa6axe

The following is strictly from myself and my own findings and
thoughts.
The conception that DX4WIN installs MMTTY is not quite correct -
as here are the exact words from their own website LINK :
//quote//
For the record MMTTY is not included in the DX4WIN install software 
because the AUTHOR of MMTTY JE3HHT doesn't allow this. See his WebPages 
"Commercial Programs are not allowed to include this file", But can be 
downloaded and used FREE by any HAMRADIO station.
//unquote//
As can be read/seen above, NO Commercial program can install the
MMTTY "engine" as part of it's own install/program..
What is made available is the "interface" -- which, once the
installation of the logging program is accomplished - then the
user has to go to the MMTTY website itself and download and install
the MMTTY "engine".
The "interface" that CAN be used with DXbase is already available
FREE!! Of course, as is the MMTTY "engine" s/w ..
I have been using HamScope as the interface to be able to LOG
my RTTY QSOs directly into DXbase - for quite a long time.
I simply have a directory on my C: drive that is called
Hamscope -- and in that directory is the Hamscope program
and the MMTTY engine ...
Then when I work an RTTY QSO, I can LOG that QSO's info "directly"
into DXbase ...
There really is no reason to re-invent the wheel.
