Hi Bob et al- I have modified a driver, compiled it, and put the .dll into the proper folder. The driver uses the chooser() and the profile.register, etc. The...
I would not want to mess directly with the registry, personally. I'll admit to using that hack myself in the past and you might get away with it but its not...
... Not if it is in Windows\system, g_Util.LoadLibrary will find it there also. I just think we need to get rid of the 10 copies of it :-) -- Bob -- Bob Denny ...

I would like to get the ServoCAT ASCOM telescope driver included in the new v4 platform release. I have never done this before, so I will probably need some...
