No - it's a test program which Dave W4SMT wrote to check that it  
worked before he integrated the code into another OSX project,
and no - MLDX users are not asking for the solution of having a  
standalone test program,
and no - from my perspective I just volunteered to help test it, but  
it does allow me to check out all is well with WK without booting into  
windows to test it!

When I have a USB peripheral that works fine with most of my apps but  
has a problem with one other app, I would contact the writer of that  
one app!   Seems reasonable to me.  After all, the hardware works.   
And the USB driver is the widely used FTDI driver.  That works.  But  
then I am just a user!   But you are right Don, the way to avoid users  
contacting you is not to support that hardware at all.  No problem.

OK that's clear thanks.   I understand what you are saying about  
adding to your support time if it doesn't work.
Now the 3 of us that asked for it know and can shut up :)

Bed time here in the UK ... nite!
