Thanks Kevin. Let me update the info. I now live in the Pacific
Northwest, so the current mailing info is:
Jack Brindle, WA4FIB  (as in  a little white lie ;-)
726 175th Street SW
Bothell,  WA  98012
Compuserve: 73365,606
internet: jackb@mdd.comm.mot.com
AppleLink: BRINCOMM

The current version is 1.4, although you won't find it in the
archives _yet_. Version 1.1 is quite old, V1.2 was slightly
buggy, and V1.3 was pretty solid. I recently rewrote the 
program for V1.4, and plan to rewrite the sound generation 
code in the near future to allow rates higher than 24 wpm.
Morse Tutor is 'QSLware.' I simply ask for a QSL or post card
to let me know how you like the program and what improvements
you might like.

There are several other Morse programs around, some can be found
at the Apple archives (ftp.apple.com) in the pub/ham radio area.
I also recently received a pretty good program from a ham in
Japan (sorry, can't remember the details).

If you are interested in mine, send a request. I'll try to get
it emailable soon, AND into the various archives. If you _really_
can't get it electronically, send me a diskette to the above
address.
