First off, why couldn't the author have included BWCC.DLL with it.. I
had to go hunting it down. Luckily FTPSearch made it easy enough. But
anyways, I have a parallel cable that I made, and it works perfectly
fine with Cal for DOS, or any of the ti-92 programs. WtranX however,
doesn't like it.. I can't send or receive anything, except a backup
file, in which case it times out with "Error in XMit" or something
like that about 10 seconds after starting.

Ehh, oh well. Maybe Wtran8 only likes the serial cable..
