- I've written a program to help people with UNIX boxes learn morse code.
- It seems to be pretty well debugged and working nicely. I wrote it for a SPARC;
- Scott Seligman at Stanford added routines to support an HP workstation and
- generic X11. It should be possible to support other sorts of devices fairly
- easily. (All you have to change is one routine, and you've got 3 examples
- to start from.)
-
- It has a rather ridiculous number of options and features. It can
- be used to play code, print code, or generate code. It can just let you
- look and listen or can test you, either synchronously or asynchronously.
- It can speed up or slow down depending on how you're keeping up. It can
- ask you letters that you're having trouble with more often. Etc, etc.
-
- Anyway, if you are interested, it is available as "morse.shar" on
- hanauma.stanford.edu's anon ftp server. (For those of you without name
- servers, that's 36.51.0.16... but you really should get a name server!)
-
- Feel free to redistribute it. If you make any improvements I'd
- like to hear back from you. Please abide by the copyright notices. And
- have fun!
-
- PS: Keep in mind that since I am giving away the code for free,
- I am under no obligation to answer uninteresting questions!!!!!
