[chirp_users] An early Christmas present for CHIRP users

[Lou Blasco]

Yes Agreed.

I have done exactly this on both Windows XP and Windows 7 and it 
works as Bob describes. If you doubleclick the exe and it does not 
open a CD burning utility then you've got a a bad file and should 
download it again. There's no need for any other CD burning program.

Hugh, if you haven't followed Bob's procedure exactly you may just 
have a CD that is only good as a coaster. Please let us know how if 
you get everything sorted out.
