offers the following basic CW services to a caller program:
o Morse code character translation tables, and lookup functions
o Morse code low-level timing calculations
o A 'sidetone' generation and queueing system, using either the system sound
card, the console speaker, or both
o Optional keying control for an external device, say a transmitter, or an
oscillator
o CW character and string send routines, tied in with the character lookup
o CW receive routines, also tied in to the character lookup
o Adaptive speed tracking of received CW
o An iambic keyer, with both Curtis 8044 types A and B timing
o Straight key emulation

with the Gnome desktop. The program is under development, and currently
supports the CQ WW, CQ WPX, and ARRL DX contests, plus Field Day.
Features include on-the-fly dupe checking, CW and voice message keying,
super check partial, packet (Telnet and rf nodes), networking, and
radio control (currently for the FT-1000 only). The program is designed
to be used by U.S. stations, with some support for Canadian stations.
New features and contests are being added regularly, and I will consider
adding support for DX stations if there is sufficient demand.
(The port version has bug fixes and some modifications for Canadian stations.

cases, when the locale settings define anything different than a '.'
as decimal separator (e.g. LANG=de_DE, where it is ',').

Morse code. It starts with a few letters and adds more when it sees that
you are ready. The program won't teach you to send code. It runs in X Window.
Built with the Fast Light ToolKit(fltk) and the Simple Directmedia Layer(SDL).
It need to be compiled on X Window term for the reason fluid(fltk) need to.

GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ . Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).
The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy. We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD. This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.
This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully. Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for
their work on porting modules and testing the whole ball of wax on
pointyhat (respectively).
The FreeBSD GNOME team would also like to thank our various testers and
contributors:
