All versions of Morse Academy prior to 5.1c used the character * to represent
the prosign AR (end of transmission) and + to represent the prosign SK. The
accepted CCITT standard for correspondence between computer symbols and Morse
symbols has these definitions reversed.
Morse Academy is in error, and this has caused problems for some VE test teams
in scoring candidates. While most test candidates write AR and SK (with a bar
over the letters) on paper when copying a test, some computer literate
students write the computer symbols. Only the CCITT definitions are accepted.
Beginning with version 5.1c we will reverse these usages so MA conforms to the
international standard.
Because many students may have memorized the previous keyboard usage, MA will
continue to optionally offer the older keyboard support of * for AR and + for
SK. It is recommended that all students adopt the new CCITT compliant
standard, but we do not insist that you do.
Note that if you change this keyboard option after Morse Academy has been
initialized with the opposite one, you are responsible for regenerating any
tests generated with the first selection.
!Deletion of the file (CCITT.TXT) will automatically force MA to select the
CCITT standard without offering the option.
