[Dxbase] Status Update

Tue Feb 9 20:08:57 EST 2010

I hate to sound negative but I think the chance of LPT keying working under
Win7 x64 is close to impossible, not only for the technical reasons but
Microsoft requires all drivers to be signed and I am doubtful there are
many(any) of the LPT driver writers still in existance that will suffer the
expense. Win7 x64 will see a lot of the hobbiest-type of programming
severely challenged because of this.
