[hpsdr] OZY/Janus/Penny on Vista

[Don Kay - KI6FOM]

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the reply. I'm including the output from initozy11.bat for you to
look at but it looks to me like a problem in common code (probably libusb
as you suggested). I'm expecting a copy of Visual Studio 2008 for father's
day and I will make an attempt to debug this, but I'm a lot more comfortable
in a Unix development environment than I am in Windows so I don't know
how far I'll get. Anyway, here is the output. 73 - Don
