Hi Kevin,

Thanks for all your work on this. I am finally done with school so can get back at this. I am using Fedora, so will see how your work fits into that environment.

One other possibility you might want to think about would be to get it working
with Puppy Linux. This has a pretty strong following among those using older
equipment (hmmm wonder why that sounds familiar!-) and a ham version of
puppy with TR Linux on it would make installation and other issues simpler.

Also, the link seems to work fine for me.

cheers, Paul - VA7NT

I have put together a simple web site at <http://w9cf.hostoi.com>
for the linux version of TR. The program can be downloaded from there.
The program is also still available in the files section of the trlinux
Yahoo group.

The web site shows a screenshot of the program taken from my computer
after the ARRL DX contest. The low score shown is from a combination of
my lack of operating skill, lack of BIC time, and running 100 watts to a
trap vertical.

The current release supports K1EL's Winkeyer, but at least on my
shack computer, serial and parallel port keying work fine.

I have also played around with running the program on slax, a live
version of linux on a USB flash drive. Basically you download slax to a
USB drive, add trlinux, make the drive bootable, and then boot this on
any PC without touching your Windows install. You can then set up and
run the linux version to see if it does what you want.

If there is interest, I can post how to set this up.
