My apologies for this slightly off-topic post - but I'm going a bit crazy and 
this seemed like the most likely crowd to be able to restore my sanity.

A couple of weeks ago, I found (on the web) the source code for a freeware or 
shareware rig control library.  It was not hamlib - the open source initiative 
- but it was similar in flavor and intent.  I didn't write down the URL, and 
now I can't find it.  I've looked for two hours.  Please, does anyone know 
where I can find this thing?

What I remember is that the design was based on a Windows .ini format file that 
encoded the communications protocol for each radio, and a parser (written in C, 
as I recall), that used the .ini files to drive the rig control engine.

The .ini file had a section for each major command for the radio in question, 
and a section at the top that covered stuff like baud rate, whether the data 
was BCD or ASCII, etc.

If this rings a bell, please drop me a note.  Thanks a million!

P.S. Join us for the California QSO Party, this weekend, Oct. 1-2!
