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!!!!!
