Subject: WinLirc thanks and a tip

Dear Jim,
I just started using WinLIRC today, and I wanted to thank you for 
putting together such a useful application.  Also, I was reading through 
your documentation, and noticed that on you "debug" page, you recommend 
using FireDaemon to run the program as a service.  Currently, there is 
no Lite version of FireDaemon, and that got me to thinking, you can run 
apps in their own memory space under whatever priory you might wish.  I 
found that raising the priority to realtime helped the receptivity 
greatly, and caused me no problems.  I created a shortcut with the 
following syntax, and you might want to include this on future 
documentation:


C:\WINNT\system32\CMD.EXE /C "Start /Realtime /min /B 
/DC:\Progra~1\WinLirc\ C:\Progra~1\WinLirc\winlirc.exe"

You can replace /Realtime with /high if there are problems with such a 
high priority.

Again, thanks for the great program, and I hope this little nugget was 
useful to you.

Regards,
